Paralegal Process Outsourcing - for corporations & law firms

Legal Outsourcing is a growing area. Law firms and corporate legal departments are using outsourcing their legal work to India.

According to a recent study, India has huge potential in legal outsourcing, with the number of jobs in the field increasing to 79,000 by 2015, a study by an American research firm has said.

Outsourcing would reduce costs for US customers as the the rates for Indian legal workers were about 10 to 20 per cent of their American counterparts.

So far, the legal services work consisted of paralegal, secretarial, and litigation support. However, according to the financial consulting firm, Fulcrum Financial Inquiry, Indian firms now offered more valuable services, including contract review and monitoring, document review for due diligence, patent drafting, simple filings and legal research.

However, the study said these advantages were not without challenges, but none insurmountable.

Interestingly, the need for India-based lawyers was being addressed through American law schools and immigration policies.

Legal talent was being schooled in the US, but American education visas allowed these students to stay in the country for only a short time after graduation. Many who studied in the US came back to work for legal outsourcers, the study said.

It said more than 200,000 Indians graduate from law schools each year, five times more than in the US.

Participants in the study included law firms, in-house law departments of multinational firms like GE, Bayer and outsourcers having a legal group.
