The tech-enabled managed services provider announced that it has acquired Neostella’s staffing and talent business, including teams based in the United States and Colombia. The move strengthens Provana’s growing presence in Latin America, extending its reach beyond existing operations in India, and marks the next phase of a long-standing partnership between the two companies.
The transaction—effective immediately—reflects a strategic split in focus: Provana will scale its nearshore talent capabilities, while Neostella turns its full attention to advancing its legal technology and SaaS platforms for law firms.
Provana’s Global Workforce Expansion
For Provana, the deal reinforces its position in the competitive managed services market, where access to specialized, multilingual, and geographically diverse talent is increasingly a differentiator.
“The acquisition of Neostella’s staffing and talent business deepens our ability to deliver world-class talent solutions on a global scale,” said Sandeep Bhargava, CEO of Provana. “Expanding into Latin America strengthens our reach and creates an even more connected, efficient delivery model that drives meaningful business outcomes for our customers.”
Provana’s expansion into the nearshore market—a hotspot for outsourcing and business process management—comes amid a surge in demand for flexible, hybrid, and cost-effective staffing models, particularly in the financial, legal, and technology sectors.
Neostella Doubles Down on Legal Tech Innovation
For Neostella, the divestiture marks a sharpened focus on legal technology innovation. The company, known for its automation and SaaS solutions for law firms, will channel resources into developing next-generation tools that enhance efficiency, scalability, and interoperability across legal software ecosystems.
“This move allows us to double down on what we do best: legal technology innovation,” said Matt Lautz, CEO of Neostella. “We’re excited to see our exceptional staffing team thrive under Provana’s leadership while we focus on giving clients cutting-edge capabilities and flexibility.”
The two companies aren’t parting ways entirely—they’ll continue collaborating strategically to support joint customers and ensure smooth transitions across ongoing projects.
A Win-Win in Legal Services and Tech-Enabled Staffing
The deal illustrates a broader trend in both HR tech and legal operations: specialization. As service providers streamline their portfolios, firms like Provana and Neostella are carving out clear lanes—one in global workforce solutions, the other in AI-driven legal automation.
For clients, that means deeper expertise and faster innovation. For both companies, it means a cleaner focus in fast-evolving industries where technology, efficiency, and human expertise increasingly intersect.
