30 January 2012 - [UK] - Legal Process Outsourcing - What You Should Know
The Law Society of England & Wales has published a guide on Legal Process Outsourcing: "The Law Society's guide explains the basics, highlights key issues to consider and profiles the experience of firms that have used LPO both onshore and offshore."
The report identifies New Zealand as one of the top four countries providing outsourcing services:
"The global legal market is worth approximately $400 billion USD - 60% of this total is accounted for by the US. The global LPO market is currently estimated to be worth approximately $440 million USD or 0.1% of the whole legal sector. Current market size represents nearly a 50% increase on the approximate LPO market sector of $300 million USD in 2008.
"The most popular international destination for LPO is India, closely followed by the Philippines, South Africa and New Zealand. LPO firms in India and the Philippines are expected to generate approximately $960 million USD by 2015.
"Outsourced work includes patent applications and records management, litigation support, document review, legal research and sometimes drafting pre-trial motions and briefs. Traditionally, this is work done by junior lawyers or paralegals in law firms."
