Borden Ladner Gervais LLP (BLG) announced its partnership with CiteRight, a Toronto-based legal technology startup, to provide its disputes teams with cutting edge knowledge management and collaboration technology.

"We are delighted to be partnering with CiteRight for driving forward our knowledge and innovation strategies", said Lisa Chamandy, Chief Knowledge & Innovation Officer at BLG. "Now more than ever, remotely-connected litigation teams must have the capacity to share legal knowledge, research, and resources with one another — and to submit paperless deliverables to courts at the end of the day. We see CiteRight as playing a critical role in ensuring our litigation teams can continue to work together effectively wherever they're located, and we are excited to be partnering with Canada's leader in this field."

BLG's partnership with CiteRight  establishes a new platform through which both firms can co-create innovative resources that service the broader legal community. The partnership will form a key component of BLG's Digital Hub.

"It's an honour to be working with BLG," said Aaron Wenner, founder and CEO of CiteRight.

In addition to helping BLG's lawyers and litigation teams focus their efforts on areas where they truly excel, we're proud to contribute to and build BLG's digital ecosystem."
