EY Legal Managed Services operates as part of EY's global Managed Services portfolio and its broader Law service line. As with all EY legal offerings, EY member firms providing this service do not practice law or offer legal advice where not permitted by local law or regulation; Ernst & Young LLP (US) specifically states it does not practice law or offer legal advice.
