Services Offered:

Litigation:
The core of QuisLex’s litigation services is its managed document review service, which includes complete end‑to‑end project management and quality control that seamlessly integrate with outside counsel workflows. The company’s managed review portfolio extends beyond the review of documents to include several sophisticated, value-added services, like preparing privilege logs and performing redactions for privilege, trade secrets and confidentiality. QuisLex also leverages the institutional knowledge of its clients and their industries to provide trial and witness preparation assistance, including detailed pattern/trend analysis, chronologies and deposition analysis/comparisons.

Regulatory & Internal Investigations:
QuisLex has assisted numerous clients in responding to high-profile, high-stakes investigations in both the US and the UK. The company has developed a sophisticated specialisation in financial services investigations, including surveillance audits, and has significant experience in antitrust/competition-related matters and FCPA investigations. QuisLex has been asked on multiple occasions to represent both sides in an HSR Second Request based on the company’s demonstrated ability to execute efficiently and effectively on large-scale and complex matters.

Data Privacy:
QuisLex assists with DSAR processing, both as a regular business process and in response to multinational data breaches. The company has helped clients apply data privacy redactions to comply with several different data privacy regimes. QuisLex has also worked on a number of PII reviews in the incident response context.

Compliance:
QuisLex has deep experience designing and implementing contract compliance programs. Assessing existing contracts and contractual relationships, the company performs third‑party due diligence, revises and renegotiates contracts, and establishes controls and processes to ensure prospective compliance and speed up implementation.

Contract Lifecycle Management:
QuisLex assumes overall management responsibility for both buy- and sell‑side contracts on behalf of its clients. QuisLex’s dedicated teams provide full-spectrum contract management support, including creation and implementation of contract management systems, and creation of playbooks for contract drafting, negotiating guidelines, exception identification and analysis, escalation process mapping and ongoing contract maintenance.

Contract Abstraction & Analysis:
QuisLex’s contract analysis services include identifying material rights and obligations, capturing deviations from standard terms and conditions, providing substantive classifications of contracts, capturing key metrics required for business purposes, and creating and monitoring contract standards and best practices.

M&A:
QuisLex provides pre‑ and post‑merger support on both the buy and sell sides of M&A transactions. Pre-merger, specialised teams perform reviews of relevant contracts required for due diligence. Post‑merger, QuisLex teams assist in integration review and support, analysing the acquired entities’ contracts against client standards to assist in identifying integration strategies involving renegotiation, termination and renewals. In addition to its overall expertise in analysing complex contracts, QuisLex has developed an array of best practices specifically related to spin‑off and restructuring transactions.

Legal Operations Consulting & Analytics:
QuisLex supports corporate legal departments by designing and implementing scalable, repeatable, well‑managed processes. Building on its experience standardising legal processes, the company has created and implemented templates, manuals, guidelines and playbooks across its core service areas and tailors them to the needs of individual clients or particular work streams. QuisLex also beta tests and integrates new developments in technology. The company analyses metrics from all these processes to drive results and to identify further opportunities for improving processes and creating efficiencies.
