Outsource to Spend More?
August 12, 2010

Author:  SPurani | Interesting article at ALB Legal News, which the piece’s title alone caught my attention. “Corporates could halve their legal costs by outsourcing less.”  Interesting, right?  My first thought was how could this be?  The report’s statistics describe the Australian and New Zealand legal market.  Based on what Richard Stock, Catalyst Consulting Director, states, these departments are paying too much for the same work they could do in-house.  He sums up by stating that they could stand to improve their forecasting requirements to help reduce the costs.

The Am Law 50’s Dirty Little Secret: LPO
July 9, 2010

Author: Sanket Purani

Something everyone across the Legal Process Outsourcing world has known for some time – the majority of those who choose to procure legal process outsourcing services hope to do it without anyone else really knowing about it.  Kind of a not-so-well kept secret it seems given Fronterion’s recent study released yesterday.  The results do not surprise me really.  It’s analogous to a dirty secret people like to keep in the closet, in the safety of their home, or in this case their office.  And of course the secret’s obediently kept within the office of the dedicated LPO provider.trans The Am Law 50s Dirty Little Secret: LPO Read more

Are Legal Process Outsourcing Providers Entitled to Succeeding?
June 17, 2010

Author: Sanket Purani

Why do we need to ask such a question? Well, in short the question should be asked. Primarily to ensure the players do not lose sight of what it will take to win. And secondly, just because LPO’s in India have a cost advantage, it doesn’t necessarily mean that can translate to success. It’s true the skillset and eagerness to succeed exists, however real success will depend on a combination of factors. The goal is to place more focus on the non-cost based factors of service delivery. LPOs will feel less squeezed when sending that client proposal and more confident when sending the invoice.

Senator Schumer, Friend or Foe to LPO?
June 8, 2010

Author: Sanket Purani

Everyone has their opinions and they are entitled to them.  Funny thing is when you or I broadcast an opinion it doesn’t quite garner the attention as it does for politicians.  And at times political opinions gather steam, and if the public’s opinion is also behind it, it could affect the law of the land.  One of these movements which strike close to our LPO hearts was brought to the public’s attention last week by New York State Senator Chuck Schumer (D).  Senator Schumer’s announcement to propose an excise tax on outsourced call center activity kicked off a debate that may have ramifications for the entire outsourcing industry, including legal process outsourcing.  However, contrary to the obvious, my sense is that his proposal is something of a blessing in disguise, for outsourcing in general and LPO could remain unscathed in the long term.

As the Tree Grows, So Could the LPO?
June 2, 2010

Being that this was a three day weekend here in the U.S., and as many of us do during holiday weekends, I spent it mostly with my family and especially my kids.  What’s great about spending time with them among other things is the loving notion they carry with them that mommy and daddy know everything.  Read more

No PIGS for Legal Process Outsourcing
May 24, 2010

There is no shortfall of headlines and pundits speaking on the troubles that the European Union (E.U.) and their Euro currency have been facing. There is small group of E.U members which have managed to tarnish the E.U’s global perception. They are collectively and coldly referred to as the PIGS nations. It’s an acronym and spells a word that does not evoke a comfortable feeling. And being a member of the PIGS group is even less than comfortable. Any executive within the LPO industry would dread receiving a similar association especially since they work so diligently to build the trust and comfort of their clients. Read more
