Legal Placements, Inc. 2015 Survey Contract Attorney Support Staff Accounting Information Technology Direct Hire and Temporary Placements www.legalplacements.com
CONNECTING YOUR BUSINESS TO STAFFING RESOURCES THAT MEET YOUR NEEDS Dear Friends, Please review LPI's 2015 salary survey which is compiled as a result of actual direct hire placements in the Washington, D.C. area. We had a record breaking year in both our direct hire and temporary divisions. As a result of our record breaking year, in December 2015, LPI merged with Advanced Discovery a leading ediscovery service provider. The addition of LPI's Washington, D.C. document review facility adds to Advanced Discovery's already strong D.C. area presence which includes a data center, review center, paper services and operations facilities. This is a remarkable opportunity for LPI --the synergy and resources of Advanced Discovery will enable us to take our company to its full potential, benefiting our clients across the board. We are particularly excited about the opportunity to offer our clients Advanced Discovery's extensive ediscovery expertise and expansive services. We are pleased to expand our services to Austin, Texas, Chicago, IL, Century City, CA, Dallas, TX, Detroit, MI, Kansas City, MO, Los Angeles, CA, New York City, Orange Country, CA, Palo Alto, California, Pittsburgh, PA, San Francisco, CA, and San Jose, CA. We look forward to working with you and your firm in these other locations. Thank you for all your support throughout the years and going forward. Without your support none of this would be possible. Please do not hesitate to contact me or your LPI representative should you have any questions. Again, my thanks. Best Lori DiCesare President
