Event Summary

Opensity Solutions, the largest tech-enabled managed services provider for legal, financial and professional services firms, announced the launch of its dedicated Law Firm Management Services Organization (MSO) practice on July 21, 2026. The practice is developed in strategic partnership with Rob Morris, a veteran legal industry executive with over 30 years of experience at firms including Clifford Chance, Baker McKenzie, and Borden Ladner Gervais. The MSO offering aims to help law firms separate the practice of law from the business of law by providing operational services such as IT, document processing, marketing, billing, and records governance. Opensity's CEO Michelle Deichmeister and Executive Chairman Christopher Petrini-Poli highlighted that the move responds to client demand for holistic back-office support and is backed by private equity sponsor Renovus Capital Partners. The partnership is expected to enable law firms to modernize operations, improve profitability, and free up capital for reinvestment.
