LPO / Legal Transcription

LEGAL PROCESS OUTSOURCING (LPO)

In the recent few years the global spending on legal services has been estimated to be over $250 billion (of which about two-third is accounted in the United States alone. With such demand for legal services, corporations and law firms need to handle the large volumes while keeping costs in check and maintaining profitability. This is where Legal Processing Outsourcing ("LPO") comes into the picture wherein core legal functions are delegated to external counsel to complete the assigned task on the basis of set parameters and fixed timelines.

It has been observed through various studies that first level document review cost is the major part, somewhere around 70-80% of total litigation cost. This is a huge piece of the litigation costs pie. Therefore, strategies are formed to control and reduce these costs. Most of the international law firms based in the US, UK or Europe are embracing the Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) route to become more lucrative to their clients. Many international legal firms, legal departments of big corporate houses along with state and federal government agencies are increasingly outsourcing plethora of legal works to India to reduce cost and increase efficiency.
