Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) is the industry in which in-house legal departments or organizations outsource legal work from areas where it is costly to perform, such as the United States or Europe to areas where it can be performed at a significantly decreased cost, primarily India. Legal Process Outsourcing is a high end industry that has been growing rapidly in the recent years.
It goes without saying that the LPO trend offers great benefits. India’s legal services are affordable, efficient, and above all, skilled. It is far less expensive to hire talent in India.
The LPO process is done by experienced paralegals and attorneys using industry standard Practice. The main criteria for deriving value from such services are the level of maturity of delivery processes of the service provider. Also sufficient control should be exercised on the operations to ensure that the work is delivered to the level of expectation of quality of the client and the data is secure.
