Pangea3 Dedicates Taskforce to Mortgage-Backed Securities ("MBS") Document Review

NEW YORK, Sept. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Pangea3, a Thomson Reuters business, the most experienced provider of high-quality outsourced legal solutions to the world's most respected companies and law firms, has established a taskforce dedicated to Mortgage-Backed Securities-related document review. As the preferred document review provider for many of the largest international banks, the Pangea3 Mortgage-Backed Securities Taskforce will provide clients with unsurpassed experience, acquired first-hand through work on dozens of MBS-related litigation and investigations.

The Pangea3 Mortgage-Backed Securities Taskforce is spearheaded by senior U.S. litigators with experience managing complex securities litigation at the nation's top law firms and is supported by over 200 full-time attorneys.  Since 2010, members of the Taskforce have conducted well over 200,000 hours of review in MBS-related litigations and investigations, as well as over 100,000 hours of review in other complex financial matters.  Through this experience, each member of the Taskforce has developed a deep understanding of the financial services industry generally, and, more importantly, is familiar with the legal structures and terminology unique to MBS-related documents.  Relevant experience includes matters involving:

• Mortgage-backed securities;
• Short-term asset backed commercial paper;
• Allegations of improper short selling/securities trades;
• Breaches of financial services contract and fiduciary duties;
• Structure products, including credit default and total return swaps;
• Complex tax products;
• U.S. Department of Justice, SEC and IRS investigations;
• Investigations by non-U.S. governmental bodies; and
• Internal investigations.

"The surge in private Mortgage-Backed Securities lawsuits, and the sheer volume of associated documents to review, has overwhelmed in-house counsel and their outside law firms," says Greg McPolin, Vice President & Managing Director, Global Litigation Solutions. "We have listened and responded to the needs of our clients and the legal industry by dedicating a team of attorneys experienced at working hand-in-glove with top outside counsel to provide efficient and cost-effective MBS-document review, while reducing risk."
