What Orlans Group does

Orlans Group, operating under the eVantage Services brand, is a U.S.-based legal process outsourcing and project management firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in Troy, Michigan. The company serves law firms, corporate legal departments, real estate professionals (including investors and note purchasers), and government entities such as the Detroit Land Bank Authority. Its service portfolio combines back-office document processing, due diligence management, lease abstracting, title review and curative work, and case management support for legal workflows.

The firm's technology stack centers on a case management software platform with customized workflow, integration, analytics, and reporting capabilities, supplemented by bespoke client portals built per engagement (for example, a portal developed for the Detroit Land Bank Authority that reportedly increased throughput 275% within 60 days). Process engineering follows a Lean Six Sigma methodology applied to legal and real estate operations, distinguishing the firm from generic BPO providers. Delivery is consultative, with Process Engineers and Legal Experts collaborating directly with clients to design and operate tailored solutions.

Commercially, Orlans Group generates revenue through flat fee pricing models, often billed monthly, with additional transaction-fee structures for real estate portfolio work. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, targeting enterprise legal departments, law firm portfolios, mid-market real estate operators, and government agencies nationwide. The company employs approximately 21 people, has supported 200+ clients annually including Fortune 500 companies, and is led by founder and President & CEO Alison Orlans. No external funding, M&A activity, or institutional ownership is disclosed in the available data.
