Eversheds Sutherland Launches Konexo in the US – Providing Alternative Legal and Compliance Services
Eversheds Sutherland today announced the further global expansion of Konexo to provide alternative legal and compliance services in the US, under the leadership of Carmen L. Brun, who previously practiced in Eversheds Sutherland’s Securities Enforcement and Litigation practice.
Brun is responsible for the development and delivery of Konexo’s strategy and services in the US and works closely with Graham Richardson, Head of Konexo, on coordinating global matters and overall strategy. Konexo offerings in the US include litigation services; investigation, due diligence and regulatory research services; contract analysis; commercial contracting; financial services investigations and remediation; interim resourcing; consulting; and global legal entity management – with plans to expand and diversify service offerings in tandem with client needs.
In June 2019, Eversheds Sutherland leveraged existing teams in the UK and Asia to launch Konexo with plans to expand to the US shortly thereafter. With the ongoing global COVID-19 crisis, the firm anticipates an even higher demand for alternative legal services powered by a top global legal brand.
The US launch comes on the heels of Konexo’s launch and significant growth globally last year. With several offices in the UK, and with the opening of new offices in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur in 2019, Konexo has already established a presence around the world. “We work hard to be where our clients need us to be – and to provide what they need us to provide – and that’s apparent in the moves we are making to grow and refine our service offerings in the US and globally,” said Mr. Wasserman.
