Scaling Legal Ops: How Lineal Managed Services Revolutionize Data Handling
Legal operations used to primarily mean financial and vendor management. Working with outside counsel and service providers to control costs, negotiate contracts, and implement tools to improve project visibility and cost reduction.
Now? It’s data strategy. Infrastructure planning. Technology stack decisions. Cross-border workflows. And of course, doing all of it smarter, faster, and for less.
The legal industry has changed, but too many operational models haven’t. That’s where Lineal Managed Services come in—not as a staffing solution or cost savings strategy, but as a full rethink of how legal work—especially discovery and investigation—gets done.
Data Isn’t Getting Simpler—But Legal Operations Should
Every legal team—whether in-house or at a firm—is dealing with more data, more formats, and more regulatory obligations than ever before. But building out a full-time team, standing up secure environments, and wrangling tech contracts across providers? That’s not scalable for most practices.
Lineal Managed Services offer a different approach: the ability to access the tools, workflows, and the expertise of a sophisticated discovery operation, without having to build it from scratch.
From early case strategy to full document review support, Lineal Managed Services allow teams to flex capacity, bring in targeted expertise, and access industry-grade tech—all while keeping overhead low.
For Law Firms: From Cost Center to Profit Center
For law firms, especially those considering a RelativityOne environment, Lineal Managed Services are a fast track to something rare in legal: operational scale.
Instead of hiring one project manager here and one technologist there, firms can offer a unified, revenue-generating tech practice—built around RelativityOne, powered by experts, and run with performance metrics that clients care about.
It’s not about outsourcing. It’s about turning your tech practice into a business unit with predictable costs, consistent quality, and the flexibility to handle client needs across matters, industries, and time zones.
For Corporations: Control Without Complexity
For corporate legal teams, Lineal Managed Services answers the most persistent question: how do we do more with less?
Legal budgets are tightening, but expectations around data compliance, defensibility, and speed are becoming more important than ever. Lineal Managed Services give teams access to experienced personnel, mature workflows, and tech platforms—without ballooning headcount or taking on complicated technology.
And with fixed-fee models and real-time financial tracking (hello, Lineal Command Center), cost predictability becomes the norm—not the exception.
Built to Scale, Built to Last
One of the biggest benefits of a Lineal Managed Services model is the ability to evolve as your needs change. Whether you’re ramping up for a large-scale investigation, migrating to RelativityOne, or setting long-term plans to bring your discovery practice in-house, Lineal Managed Services are built to meet you where you are—and scale with you as your practice grows.
That flexibility is more than convenience—it’s resilience. In a legal landscape that changes faster than most Gantt charts can keep up with, that’s what modern legal ops really need.
