Program Summary
Legal outsourcing is used by 79 percent of law firms and 71 percent of corporate law departments (according to a 2021 Thomson Reuters study). By outsourcing and offshoring at rates of $20/hour, associates and junior partners spend more of their time reviewing and managing work typically done by junior associates and paralegals. The practice also grows profits, especially when combined with flat-fee billing. This CLE will walk through the necessary safeguards that firms need to obtain these benefits without taking on malpractice exposure.
This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.
Key topics to be discussed:
- How the ABA and state bar associations have applied ethical rules in the context of outsourcing legal services
- What practical steps law firms should take when outsourcing
- How to choose between providers of outsourced legal services
- What savings and efficiencies can be obtained by outsourcing legal work
