“Aphelion” is the point in space where Earth is at its furthest distance from the Sun during its elliptical orbit.
Aphelion Legal Solutions bridges the distance between supply and demand in the global legal services market.
Western businesses are constantly in demand for high quality, cost effective solutions for e-discovery, document review, privilege review, and other discrete legal and legal support services. Meanwhile, India has an abundant supply of smart, common law trained attorneys who can serve as a resource to fill specific legal needs. Aphelion brings these formerly distant needs and resources together by leveraging its hybrid US and India-based solution via the latest in technological advances. In doing so, Aphelion offers its clients expert, timely, and cost conscious legal solutions.
“Aphelion” is symbolic of our approach to client service.
Earth reaches aphelion in early July each
year. Conventional wisdom might suggest that aphelion is where
Earth is coldest, as it is approximately 5 million kilometers
further from the Sun than at “perihelion,” where Earth is
nearest to the Sun. The additional distance to the Sun
results in 7% less sunlight globally at aphelion than at
perihelion.
But ironically, Earth at aphelion is on average 4 degrees warmer
than at perihelion. This is due to the greater land mass
of the northern hemisphere. Land absorbs heat faster than
water. Aphelion is reached at a time when longer days in
the northern hemisphere permit more land to absorb heat for more
time each day, permitting Earth as a whole to capture more heat.
Even a distance of 5 million kilometers, in these circumstances,
has little bearing on Earth’s ability to soak up the Sun’s
energy.
“Aphelion” is symbolic of our approach to legal services.
We eschew the notion that physical proximity is always
significant, and we look for instances where conventional wisdom
on legal process and staffing results in less than optimal means
to advance a client’s legal and financial interests.
