I Want to OutSource Legal Services
There. I said it. And I mean it. But it's probably not what you think.
At the WILG Convention in San Antonio, there was a vendor selling outsourced legal services. The company was from Bangalore, India. That was the first time I've personally seen a company from out of the country selling their services. It's rather ironic, that they were selling their services at a Convention of lawyers that are dedicated to protecting injured workers and their rights.
So do I want to have my demand packages written in India? I don't think so. So what do I mean when I say I want to outsource?
We are in the process of going 100% digital, where all of the correspondence, pleadings, medical records and pretty much everything is scanned, digitized and on-line.
At that point, we will be able to access the entire file without leaving our desk. Or, if a paralegal has a sick child, she can work on the file from home without taking the entire paper file with her. I can leave work on time and work on a file at home, because it will be online.
We can outsource to part-time stay at home paralegal moms in town. Even if they just put together 2-3 demand packages a month. We can outsource to part-time stay at home paralegal moms across town, across the state or across the country. That's the beauty of being digital.
Another advantage of being able to outsource some of the legal work is it allows the firm to smooth out any bumps in workflow if too many clients finish treatment all at the same time. It also allows the firm flexibility to take on additional cases, class actions or other type of work.
Will we want to use the services of the legal vending company from India? I don't think so. The idea makes me hinky, but I haven't noodled through all the possibilities. I think once I look at all of the options, it might be moderately cheaper to use an Indian company, but that I won't do it because it just doesn't feel right. I'll let you know how things go.
Interested in outsourcing any research and writing work to an attorney in a neighboring state?
I recently posted about my idea for a legal technology startup and outsourcing was one component that I mentioned. I like the economics of outsourcing to India but I wonder what the legal issues are if confidential client info is disclosed and you have to take legal action against a foreign owned company?
I am not a lawyer, as my blog makes clear, but I plan to attend law school in the near future after completing my undergrad in Computer Science. I think armed with that background I could develop some truly awesome technology to make lawyers lives easier.
I have a large law firm in Chennai, India, backed by experienced personnel. If you wish to outsource your work in India, i am all yours.

After the hugely popular business process outsourcing (BPO),the country is currently witnessing a boom in legal process outsourcing (LPO) with legal firms from around the world, turning to India to outsource their legal services For a young legal professional, a career with an LPO is attractive for several reasons:
