Special Counsel Expands in Florida

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Special Counsel, the legal workforce solutions unit of MPS Group, Inc. (NYSE:MPS), today announced the opening of new offices in Miami and Tampa, Florida. With these two offices, Special Counsel now serves 30 market areas across the United States.

"The legal staffing market in Florida is strong, both for temporary professionals and for permanent placement services. We are now well positioned to serve the many Florida-based firms with offices in one or more of the four markets served directly by Special Counsel in Florida -- Jacksonville, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale and Miami. In addition, these new offices enable us to better serve our national clients with needs in those markets. I am also very pleased to announce that Ralph Laughton will be coordinating our efforts across all of Florida as Vice President of the Florida region," said John Marshall, president of Special Counsel.

"Special Counsel's presence in Tampa and Miami is significant because these are two of the most important legal markets -- not only in Florida, but nationally, as well," said Ralph Laughton. "Tampa and Miami are among the fastest growing communities in the United States. We are in a position to expand along with the Florida economy by supporting the legal workforce services businesses will need. Increasingly, law firms and corporate in-house counsel are looking to incorporate time-saving and cost-effective alternatives, including the use of temporary services, to staff both large projects requiring teams of paralegals and attorneys, and more specialized professionals for more discreet projects. Special Counsel offers dedicated litigation support services such as medical document review and Concise(R) Deposition summary service, two value-added options developed to meet our clients' needs."
