About Update Legal
Update Legal is a legal staffing and litigation support company based in New York City. It places contract and permanent attorneys, paralegals and litigation support personnel with law firms, corporate legal departments and government agencies. Its listed offerings include contract-to-permanent and permanent placements, document review, e-discovery and managed review, which one profile describes as fully outsourced review with metrics reporting.
Third-party profiles say the company's origins go back to a staffing business founded in 1970, that its legal division was established in 1991, and that its parent, Driven, Inc., acquired it in 2018. The listed headquarters is at 1040 Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan, New York, NY 10018. Sources differ on the location of its offices: one professional network profile lists Newark, New Jersey as headquarters, and an older directory lists offices in seven U.S. locations. It is a staffing and review provider, not a law practice.
