Managing the Law Firm Risk Role in Outsourcing




http://ow.ly/9Egl6

An article posted on the 3 Geeks and a Law Blog website.

This article discusses the role of the law firm in managing a project which involves outsourced services.

The article discusses the need for the law firm to be involved in the management of services being outsourced to service providers.  The article states, "This 'supervision' challenge already exists with many third party providers, such as e-discovery vendors. In those circumstances, smart firms are always evaluating the providers, making sure their processes are adequate. LPOs are really on a higher plane in this regard, as their services tread much deeper in to practicing law. With services like “contract drafting” and patent preparation, the evaluation and oversight of an LPO by a firm should be much deeper and hands-on."
