BENEFITS OF LEGAL PROCESS OUTSOURCING

Cost Effective

One of the most obvious but significant benefits

of LPO is cost savings. Firms can save a huge amount

of money by opting for external/ offshore vendors

instead of in-house legal personnel.

Completes a project in a shorter time frame

The use of a combination of onshore and offshore teams can also allow organizations to complete a project in a shorter time frame. For example, the 12-hour time difference between the U.S. west coast and India permits 24/7 operations. Offshore teams can work through the night to complete a project by morning.

Beneficial for any type of firm

LPO is not only beneficial for the big firms- it is beneficial for those small firms who have limited staff members and also a limited budget. Instead of hiring additional staff for performing legal formalities such as proof-reading and drafting documents with the help of templates.

They can simply outsource some of their work.

Use of external talent

LPO's are a great way of getting access to external talent

and filling the gap between internal competencies. Legal offshoring also allows domestic firms to tap into global expertise. Offshore destinations such as India and China boast a large, highly-trained and motivated labor force,
ensuring a large pool of qualified workers.​

LEGAL PROCESS OUTSOURCING (LPO)

WHAT IS LEGAL PROCESS 

OUTSOURCING?

Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) is a lesser known concept in the

non-legal community. LPO is the industry wherein foreign companies outsource legal work to countries where it is significantly cheaper to perform. Since lawyers in countries like the USA and UK charge
exorbitant fees for legal work, companies assign this work to lawyers in countries like India as it is much more cost effective. All work and exchange of information takes place online. LPO is a high end industry that has been growing rapidly in the past few years, bringing about a global paradigm shift in the delivery model for legal services.
