A Vetted Research Partner Network
L&E coordinates vetted partners for moderation, transcription, translation, technology platforms, and specialized research services — all managed through a single point of contact.
Qualitative research often calls for capabilities beyond recruitment and facilities — simultaneous translation for multilingual studies, experienced moderators for sensitive topics, specialized technology platforms, or transcription on your timeline. Rather than asking you to source and manage those vendors yourself, we maintain a network of vetted partners and coordinate their work directly.
Trusted by leading brands and research teams
What our partner network covers
Every partner in our network is evaluated for quality, reliability, and alignment with L&E's service standards — including our ISO 20252 and ISO 27001 certifications.
When a project needs partner services, your L&E project manager handles the coordination — so you work with one team, not five.
Moderation & research facilitation
We connect you with experienced qualitative moderators and research facilitators for focus groups, in-depth interviews, and specialized sessions. Whether a project needs a moderator with specific industry expertise, language fluency, or methodological training, we match the right professional to the study.
Technology & platform integration
For studies that require specific research technology — online qualitative platforms, survey tools, diary-study apps, or specialized data-collection systems — we integrate the right tools through trusted technology partners. Our team handles setup, participant onboarding, and technical support, so the technology works without adding complexity for your team.
Transcription & translation
We coordinate transcription and translation through vetted providers who understand research content: verbatim and summary transcription, simultaneous and consecutive interpretation for live sessions, and document translation for multilingual studies. Turnaround and formatting are managed to your specifications.
Specialized & supplementary services
Beyond the core categories, our network extends to professional videography, graphic recording, stimulus design and production, and facility coordination in markets where L&E doesn't operate a location. When a study needs research space outside our facility markets, we identify, vet, and manage partner facilities to the same standards you expect from our own.
One team managing every piece
The value isn't just access to more services — it's that L&E manages the coordination. Your project manager handles vendor communication, scheduling, deliverable tracking, and quality review for partner services the same way they manage recruitment and facility logistics. One point of contact, one relationship, one team accountable for the outcome.
