The North American unit of UK glass group Pilkington has named law firm Pepper Hamilton L.L.P. to handle its legal work. Pilkington North America“s legal team will be headed by David Maurer who works out of Pepper Hamilton“s Detroit, Michigan office. Details of the agreement were drawn up by Maurer and Pilkington“s general counsel and vice president for legal and affairs, Alan Graham. Graham refused to disclose the value of the deal but described it as a “a seven-figure relationship.” Under Graham“s direction, Maurer and other Pepper lawyers will consult with Pilkington department heads on such issues as human resources, real estate and labour relations. The outsourcing is projected to cost Pilkington 30-35% less than a fully staffed in-company law department.
