Lumen Legal Joins the General Counsel Roundtable’s Vendor Preferred Pricing Program


June 25th, 2008

Arlington, Virginia - Lumen Legal, a legal services and law-professional staffing company, announced today that it is the first staffing company to join the General Counsel Roundtable’s (GCR) Vendor Preferred Pricing Program. GCR members can benefit from Lumen’s expertise in working with clients to create and deliver the latest staffing strategies designed to meet their departmental objectives.

"With the rates of outside counsel continuing to rise, general counsel are concerned with containing their external legal spend.  Contract staffing is an innovative approach to achieving meaningful cost savings," said Steven Williams, Managing Director, GCR. "By including Lumen Legal in our program, members can fully leverage Lumen’s expertise at rates discounted specifically for GCR members."

 “Our participation in the Vendor Preferred Pricing Program makes a lot of sense. Lumen’s goal to provide clients with staffing strategies that promote efficiency and cost savings is aligned with GCR’s thought leadership in the areas of legal department management and service delivery,” said David Galbenski, Esq., President & CEO, Lumen Legal. “We look forward to working with GCR’s members to help them achieve their business goals.”

Consistent with its role as an objective source of information for its members, the GCR does not endorse specific vendors and will continue its policy of not accepting any remuneration from a vendor. All program discounts will go directly to GCR members. Over time, GCR plans to expand the program to include qualified vendors used by GCR member legal departments.

GCR members who have questions regarding the specific discounts related to Lumen Legal services can contact ­David Galbenski at 877.933.1330. Also see www.lumenlegal.com.
