Alternative Legal Service Providers
High-Volume Legal Work, Delivered With Managed-Service Discipline.
ALSPs deliver legal services outside the traditional law-firm model, emphasising efficiency, flexibility, and lower cost. We specialise in five pillars, from litigation document review and contract lifecycle management to flexible attorney staffing and legal-tech enablement.
Who buys ALSP services
- In-house legal teams, under-resourced for volume work, contract review, regulatory operations.
- Law firms, augmenting partner-rate teams with cost-effective document review, due-diligence support, and CLM.
- Procurement & operations, converting unpredictable legal spend into managed services with SLAs.
- Private equity & corporate development, surge capacity for diligence, integration, and portfolio compliance.

ALSP, Frequently Asked
Procurement, GC, and Operations Questions Answered.
The questions Western procurement teams and in-house GCs ask most before engaging an ALSP, with our concrete answers. More general questions are on the FAQ page.
What is an ALSP and why would I use one?
An Alternative Legal Service Provider (ALSP) delivers legal services outside the traditional law-firm model, with managed-service efficiency, flexible commercial terms, and lower delivery cost. Enterprise legal teams use ALSPs for high-volume operational work that does not require partner-rate counsel: document review, contract lifecycle management, regulatory compliance operations, and managed legal staffing.
Which ALSP service lines does LawCrust deliver?
Five pillars: (1) Document Review and e-Discovery on Relativity, Reveal, Everlaw, and DISCO; (2) Contract Lifecycle Management, drafting, abstraction, obligation tracking, CLM platform implementation; (3) Managed Services for KYC/AML, regulatory operations, subpoena response; (4) Flexible Legal Staffing for project secondments and surge capacity; (5) Legal Technology and software implementation.
How do ALSP engagements get priced?
Three pricing constructs: FTE-month for steady-state work (junior reviewer from $2,400/month fully loaded), hour packs for ad-hoc work (50 hours from $2,750), and outcome-priced (per-document or per-matter) for high-volume document review and contract abstraction. Rate cards are transparent and shared at scoping.
Can ALSP teams work alongside our existing law firm?
Yes. The ALSP desk regularly augments AmLaw, Magic Circle, and in-house teams as a managed second-line capacity. We sit on the client side of the table on commercial terms and report into either the in-house team or the panel firm, as the client prefers.
How do you ensure quality at scale?
Reviewer teams operate at a 1-team-lead-to-4-reviewers ratio with a separate QC manager doing daily sample audits, and end-of-pilot review-quality memos are issued for every engagement. ECA, first-pass, and second-pass review steps are protocolled, with privilege-review run as an independent layer.
Start with a Pilot
Most ALSP engagements begin small.
Two weeks, fixed scope, reviewable output, before you commit to anything bigger. Pilot pricing for a 50-hour pack starts at $2,750.
