  • (1888PressRelease) January 19, 2010 - So much is talked about Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) that we barely find any law-firm and corporation incognizant to the concept and its benefits. Despite this, there is reluctance towards outsourcing in general and offshore outsourcing in particular.

    Traditionally, there are two popular modules of outsourcing the legal processes: first through Third Party Service Providers/Vendors (TPSP's) and/or second by owning one's Captive Unit in offshore locations. Though both are popular but one cannot rule out the risks and impediments associated with either.

    Perceptions on outsourcing legal work to vendors (TPSP's)

    Perceptions favoring:

    1. No huge capital investments required
    2. Customized solutions
    3. Competitive pricing
    4. Flexibility to scale up and down business relationship
    5. Retains decision-making, therefore relationship with TPSP is clear (fee-based, quality-based)
    6. As it is a contract based mutual agreement thereby there is more business commitment
    7. Ability to focus on core business issues
    8. No compromise in quality at cost effective rates
    9. Better process maturity, resource flexibility and economies of scale
    10. Flexibility in deploying new technology
    11. No requirement to hire additional personnel
    12. No legal or statutory compliance issues to set up a new unit

    Perceptions discouraging:

    1. Risk of Confidentiality being at stake
    2. Risk of possible drop in quality standards
    3. Absence of processes to monitor metrics and possible timely intervention when issues are escalated
    4. Tight business margins

    Perceptions on owning a Captive unit

    Perceptions favoring:
    1. Maintenance of in-house confidentiality & quality
    2. Management and retention of control over risk profile, especially for critical business areas
    3. Development for global delivery models with centralized and standardized processes
    4. All investments made on people and infrastructure is completely retained
    5. Better control over processes, time lines & enhanced quality of operations
    6. Alignment of offshore initiatives with their culture & values
    7. Creation of robust technology infrastructure for greater efficiency and scalability of operations

    Perceptions discouraging:

    1. Huge Capital Investments
    2. Recurring Costs
    3. Hassles of incorporating the captive unit offshore like India
    4. Exit impossible without incurring high costs
    5. Compulsion to keep absolute control over processes
    6. Legal Requirements to set-up captive unit, say in India:
    i. Incorporation of the Company as a legal entity
    ii. Local registrations
    iii. Bank Accounts
    iv. Appointment of Company Secretaries & Auditors
    v. RBI/Government Approvals
    vi. Ensuring legal and statutory compliances
    vii. Local taxation issues

    7. Human Resources requirements of captive center
    i. Staffing
    ii. Training & Talent management
    iii. Hiring of Core Team
    iv. Employee retention

    8. Facilities & Infrastructure
    i. Vendor Management & Negotiations
    ii. Hardware & Software Procurement Systems
    iii. Communications & Network Integrations
    iv. Acquisition and operationalizing of facilities
