Legal Process Outsourcing
Offshore outsourcing has become a mainstream business issue for most international companies. Traditional and conservative as law firms and lawyers are considered, current trends underpin the fact that off-shoring is not a phenomenon that is restricted to those sectors other than legal. Several law firms are already gaining significant benefits by employing this new business model.

In a nutshell, the business model allows for law firms and in-house legal departments to service their legal and para-legal requirements from India. The aim is not to replace fee earners in the home jurisdiction, or do any analytical work or interface with the client directly. This aim is to provide lawyers additional capacity that is cost effective, high quality and flexible, that they can draw upon for busy periods and cost and time bound projects.
