Eversheds Sutherland is creating its own global alternative legal service provider (ALSP), joining a trend among large firms with an international presence.

The firm announced on Wednesday that it plans to launch a new entity to house its advisory, interim resourcing and managed service offerings, called Konexo, using existing teams in Europe and Asia. ES Agile, the firm’s flexible lawyering entity, has also been folded into the new business.
