Baker Robbins & Co. Again Leads List of Legal Technology Consultants
San Francisco, Sept. 28, 2007 - For the second consecutive year, Baker Robbins & Co. leads the list of technology consultants most often chosen by large law firms. This ranking was announced in the 2007 International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) Technology Purchasing Survey, which was unveiled at the 2007 ITLA conference. Baker Robbins is part of Thomson Consulting Services, a business within The Thomson Corporation (NYSE: TOC; TSX: TOC).
"We've worked extremely hard to maintain our vendor independence and commitment to seeking the best solution for our clients' unique situations," said David Baker, chairman of Baker Robbins. Being named the leading legal industry consultant by the membership of an organization as important as ILTA validates that effort."
The survey also named Baker Robbins the highest-ranking full-service consulting firm among legal vendors that provide exceptional customer support. "This validates why over 80 Global 100 law firms turn to Baker Robbins & Co. for assistance with their business technology strategy and implementation," Robbins said.
David Hanssens, president, Thomson Consulting Services, said the survey reflects Baker Robbins' commitment to innovation and service excellence. Just last year, he noted, Baker Robbins led the list of Top-Ten Legal Service Providers in a similar ILTA survey.
"Baker Robbins is focused on meeting the individual needs of its clients." said Hanssens. "They realize there is no one-fits-all solution given the unique business goals and strategies of each client. By applying the unique range and significant depth of their consultants' experience in a tailored way, Baker Robbins delivers real value to its clients. I am pleased that the ILTA purchasing survey reflects this performance."
