Shahin is a Partner at Ernst & Young LLP based in London. He joined EY through the acquisition of Pangea3 Legal Managed Services from Thomson Reuters in 2019.

Shahin leads a team of legal consultants helping clients conceptualize smart legal transformation and managed service solutions that combine technology, legal knowledge and well-defined processes to address their challenges. 

Shahin cofounded a privately owned alternative legal service provider (ALSP) dedicated to the financial services industry in 2009, before the term ALSP had even been coined. Now the ALSP market is worth more than $15 billion and expected to grow to $80 billion by the end of 2025.

Since the acquisition, Shahin has seen EY Law be recognized as the #1 Global Alternative Legal Service Provider in Acritas’ Global ALSP brand index.

How Shahin is building a better working world

“I always dreamt of becoming a lawyer and achieved that dream when I qualified as a Solicitor of England and Wales at a Magic Circle law firm. Yet, the traditional law firm model never sat quite right with me, so I left to build something better.

Now, almost 15 years later, my journey has led me to EY where I am proud to be at the forefront of the continuing evolution of the legal. EY Law is combining the strength of EY Global Legal Advisory Services with innovative EY Legal Managed Services and next generation legal technology, including Generative AI.

I believe to truly succeed in the legal market of the future we must evolve as lawyers to bring multidisciplinary legal services to our clients, helping them harness the power of technology, cost-efficient resource and innovation to better address the challenges they face.”
