Why Choose Elaine P. Dine?

1. Unmatched Reputation

Any company can claim to have a great reputation.  At Elaine P. Dine, we prove it by the roster of satisfied clients we’ve had for decades, many of whom turn to us exclusively.

Why are we so successful? Simple: we listen carefully to each client and candidate, understand their respective needs and desires, and then match the ideal candidate with the appropriate client. We won’t waste our clients’ time with candidates who don’t match their criteria. And we’ve been doing this successfully for three decades.

2. Exceptional Candidate Pool

With our stellar reputation, we can attract and retain the most highly-qualified and capable candidates. Our database has thousands of candidates, including former General Counsel, former major firm partners, former major firm associates, experienced paralegals, seasoned litigation support personnel and quality compliance professionals. Our candidates typically have worked at major law firms, corporations or investment banks and hold degrees from the nation’s finest colleges and law schools.

With such an extensive pool of candidates, we can match the candidate with the appropriate background and experience for each client. And for temporary assignments, our clients appreciate that our candidates have the skills and knowledge to “hit the ground running.”

3. Cost Savings

Our innovative Special Forces and Outside Counsel Plus programs have saved clients millions of dollars by avoiding outside counsel fees. Clients have also saved substantial sums by housing their on-line coding and document review projects off-site in one of our Document Review & Coding Centers.

We provide our clients with customized reports that detail the cost savings they have achieved by using our service.

4. Attrition Prevention

We understand how costly, disruptive and frustrating it is for clients to train temporary legal staff, only to have them leave before the project is completed.

Our attrition-prevention procedures are a proven safeguard against attrition, ensuring that the legal personnel we place with a client actually complete their assignment.

5. Document Review & Coding Centers

Clients who need to review or code documents off-site can use one of our state-of-the art Document Review & Coding Centers. We have had dozens of legal professionals in our “Class A” centers, which are fully equipped with computers, furniture, phones, kitchens, etc. And our centers can be used at ABSOLUTELY NO ADDITIONAL COST, depending on the project.

6. E-Discovery & Document Retention Expertise

Electronic Discovery & Document Retention are more important now than ever, with courts setting forth guidelines and imposing severe sanctions for noncompliance. See Zubulake v. UBS Warburg and Coleman (Parent) Holdings v. Morgan Stanley. The costs of digital discovery are quite substantial and have been estimated to comprise 50% to 90% of the budget for an entire litigation.

We can help our clients navigate through this sea change of e-discovery in two ways:

• First, our internal staff include attorneys with substantial experience in both the law of e-discovery and the logistics of producing massive amounts of electronic data.
  
  
• Second, our temporary personnel includes experts who can construct and manage a company’s data retention and e-discovery programs.

 
7. Meticulous Screening Process

Our extensive screening process for ALL candidates includes a thorough personal interview. Additionally, for any candidate in our temporary pool, we conduct reference checks and verify education and employment. For attorneys, we also verify admission to the Bar and current “good standing” to practice law. Finally, we conduct a thorough conflict of interest analysis, require ALL candidates to sign an agreement to maintain client confidences and, upon request, conduct criminal, credit and drug tests.

8. Placements Nationwide

We place attorneys, paralegals and compliance professionals nationwide. We have placed temporary legal professionals, including document review teams, in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington, DC.
