ZebraLC TM is the leading<br />
technical due diligence,<br />
audit and consulting<br />
specialist to the UK legal<br />
sector.<br />
Zebra LC’s innovation has<br />
driven a paradigm shift in the<br />
understanding of risk, value<br />
and opportunity for businesses<br />
operating within the legal<br />
industry. Delivering projects<br />
with a unique and distinct<br />
market approach, clients<br />
include leading law firms,<br />
banks, insurers, investors,<br />
funders and new market<br />
entrants.<br />
With the swathe of changes<br />
within the sector, and the<br />
growing need for law firms,<br />
banks, insurers and funders to<br />
ascertain closer ‘comfort and<br />
confidence’ about the<br />
assessment of WIP value,<br />
indemnity and operational risk,<br />
ZebraLC has a unique offering.<br />
At the helm, Zebra’s Managing<br />
Director, Zoe Holland, is<br />
pragmatic and commercial,<br />
using her background as a<br />
lawyer, together with<br />
management board<br />
experience, to provide an<br />
innovative business<br />
proposition.<br />
The industry recognises that<br />
the lifeblood of legal<br />
businesses of the future is in<br />
their quality, expertise, low<br />
operational risk, financial<br />
management and healthy<br />
asset base (profitable work and<br />
highly valuable WIP). ZebraLC<br />
has identified and filled a gap<br />
in the market that is now very<br />
much in demand.<br />
Zebra is now established, in its<br />
third year. The business has the<br />
leading edge in methodology<br />
and benchmark data owing to<br />
involvement in ‘first sector’<br />
deals such as M&A by Fairpoint<br />
Group PLC. ZebraLC carried<br />
out technical and WIP due<br />
diligence in Fairpoint’s<br />
acquisition of both Simpson<br />
Millar and Colemans CTTS. The<br />
latter involving a due diligence<br />
review on Colemans large<br />
volume conveyancing arm.<br />
In early 2015, Zebra received its<br />
first international new enquiry<br />
to advise on an M&A deal in<br />
Perth, Australia and this month<br />
has been advising a US client.<br />
This year the business also<br />
achieved ISO9001<br />
accreditation<br />
