Pangea3 operates as a provider of legal outsourcing solutions with headquarters located in New York City, Noida, Bangalore, and Mumbai, India. The company specializes in delivering legal and intellectual property support to corporate in-house counsel across the U.S., Europe, and Japan, as well as to global law firms. Since 2007, Pangea3 has consistently been acknowledged as a top-tier legal outsourcing firm, receiving honors such as the best LPO in the New York Law Journal Reader Rankings (2011–2013) and LPO of the Year by India Business Law Journal (2009–2013).
Established in 2004 by former Monster.com General Counsel David Perla alongside ex-OfficeTiger CFO and General Counsel Sanjay Kamlani, Pangea3’s management team includes attorneys based in the U.S., U.K., and India. Its service delivery is primarily conducted from offices in India and a facility in Dallas, Texas.
Beginning with a workforce of 35 employees in Mumbai during 2005, Pangea3 grew to encompass 1,000 professionals—comprising lawyers, engineers, and scientists—spread over seven locations across the United States and India. The company raised $4 million in Series B financing from The GlenRock Group in 2006, followed by $7 million in Series C funding from Sequoia Capital India in 2007.
To accommodate its expanding legal teams, Pangea3 inaugurated a sizable office in Mumbai’s Andheri district in 2008, boosting its global capacity to 475 staff members. In 2010, Thomson Reuters acquired Pangea3 for an estimated $100 million, incorporating it into its suite of legal and business information services.
On June 1, 2019, Ernst & Young completed the acquisition of Pangea3. By February 2020, EY had reduced its U.S.-based attorney workforce originally brought on through this acquisition. The original pangea3.com domain now redirects visitors to EY’s legal operations site, with no further references to Pangea3.
Strategic alliances
In 2008, Pangea3 distinguished itself as the first and sole legal outsourcing company to join the General Counsel Roundtable's Preferred Vendor Pricing Program, offering exclusive discounts on legal services to its members. Other firms participating include Serengeti, Lumen Legal, and Black Letter Discovery.
