New Delhi, India (25 July, 2009) – In the current world economic downturn, one sector that is continuously hitting the headlines with record-breaking deals is the Legal Process Outsourcing sector. The latest and most heralded success of the Indian LPO industry was the recent announcement by Rio Tinto, the global mining giant, that it had entered into a legal services outsourcing agreement with CPA Global, one of India’s leading LPO providers.
Offshoring and Ethics Monday, July 20th, 2009The unauthorized practice of law, the duty to provide competent legal counsel and properly supervise the work done by domestic and offshore contract attorneys or attorneys outside of the U.S., avoiding conflicts of interest, preserving client confidences, billing clients appropriately, steering around export controls–these are all issues discussed in a great webinar on the ethical issues raised by legal process outsourcing. Mark Ross of Law-Scribe has done a number of these. This is one of his best and worth a listen if you are interested in getting up to speed on the issues.

The gist of my piece was that by working in tandem, LPO and litigation funding possess synergistic solutions to this dilemma

Managing Partners on Outsourcing, Cost Control, Indian Liberalization, and Law Firms of the Future
Opinion appears to be divided as to whether the unexpected dropping of H R Bhardwaj, from the post of India’s Law Minister, in Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s new Cabinet, will have a detrimental impact on the pace of liberalization reform for India’s legal profession. In Legally India.com’s coverage , one Delhi lawyer, discussing the likely pace of change had Bhardwaj been invited into the new cabinet, commented: “If he had come in, we would probably be looking at a December opening.” The dichotomy of views was highlighted by Mulla & Mulla & Blunt & Caroe partner, Shardul Thacker: “This change will not in any manner hamper the legal liberalization of entry of foreign law firms.” According to Legally India.com , Bhardwaj’s replacement, Veerappa Moily is something of an unknown quantity. With the caveat that I am simply an interested observer, and a million miles away from being an expert on the issue, from a personal perspective, bar the recent passing of the Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) Act, little progress has been made over the course of the last decade.

The writer has used an excellent analogy to draw home the point that charging by hour is a sure way of driving your clients away from even the periphery of your office. One needs to understand the fact that payment of services should be based on the value addition done by the service provider rather than the number of hours the person has spent in courtship with the project
