EY has completed the acquisition of the Pangea3 Legal Managed Services (LMS) business from Thomson Reuters. The deal had originally been announced in April 2019. Together with the recent acquisition of Riverview Law, this means that EY is the first organization with service offerings including legal function consulting, LMS and legal technology in addition to legal advisory services where permitted, in more than 80 jurisdictions.
