Two years after Thomson Reuters bought legal process outsourcing (LPO) company Pangea3, a managing director who's been with the company for seven years, Antony Alex, has joined legal industry services provider Rainmaker.
Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) company Pangea 3 co-founders Sanjay Kamlani and David Perla exited Pangea3 last month, as was agreed in its $40m acquisition by Thomson Reuters two years ago.
