LEGAL PROCESS OUTSOURCING


Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) is one of the value added BPO services which involves legal work that companies outsource to more economical offshore destinations. Legal outsourcing has gained tremendous ground in the past few years in the US. LPO firms, primarily from India, have had success by providing services such as document review, legal research and writing, drafting of pleadings and briefs and providing patent services.

Legal outsourcing consists of various processes which can be classified into low skilled quantitative tasks or high end qualitative tasks. Low skilled quantitative tasks includes paralegal services and legal coding, corporate secretarial services, legal memo development, transcription, document management, litigation support and data entry. High end qualitative tasks include intellectual property rights (IPR), patent search and application drafting, trade mark and copyright registration, legal research, document review and analysis and intelligence services.
