Yorkson Legal

What Yorkson Legal does

Yorkson Legal, operating under the Lexitas brand, is a US-based alternative legal services provider (ALSP) headquartered in New York and founded in 2003. The firm delivers legal talent solutions — interim legal staffing, direct-hire placement, document review, legal research outsourcing, and commercial contracts outsourcing — alongside adjacent litigation support services including court reporting, transcription, record retrieval, process service, trial services, and alternative dispute resolution. Its customers are corporate legal departments, law firms, and government agencies, with value-based pricing models and multi-year managed-services contracts replacing pure hourly billing on key engagements; one documented commercial contracts outsourcing engagement delivered $2.7M in savings for a single Detroit automaker over two years.

The company operates a 30,000+ professional talent network and reviews 27,000+ contracts per year, with a comprehensive screening process that includes bar licensure checks, E-Verify employment eligibility verification, criminal and credit background checks, and professional services liability coverage. Its technology layer comprises the eLaw® case-tracking platform, the LegalView remote-proceedings platform, the LexitasOne™ single sign-on platform, the LexitasConnect™ integration layer, and two AI-enabled products — Deposition Insights™ for deposition summarization and Record Insights® for AI-enabled chronologies.

Revenue is generated across five primary streams: legal talent staffing (hourly/daily billing for staffed professionals), direct-hire placement (one-time placement fees), document review (project-based or hourly billing), commercial contracts outsourcing (value-based managed services), and legal research outsourcing. The go-to-market motion combines enterprise field sales targeting law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies with a sales-led approach using dedicated service-express phone lines and online request forms. The firm has been an AdvanceLaw recommended provider for eight consecutive years, providing third-party validation of service quality in a relationship-driven market.
