Legal process outsourcing is a small but growing segment of the global legal industry. Globalization, technological advances, changing attitudes toward the outsourcing of legal services, pressure to reduce costs, and a shortage of skilled labor are forcing organizations to consider alternatives to running costly in-house business processes. Outsourcing is a strategic solution that can address these challenges effectively and provide a compelling value proposition.
Historically, the outsourcing of legal services by lawyers and paralegals has been considered a cost reduction strategy wherein noncore, administrative work was shipped off to emerging economies to take advantage of labor arbitrage. As offshore outsourcing became a more widely embraced solution within the legal industry, a higher level of domain expertise developed in outsourcing centers such as the Philippines, allowing law firms to outsource increasingly sophisticated and higher-level processes overseas. Many firms have also found that working with one provider for legal talent, as well as back-office and marketing staff, has further improved efficiency and reliability while allowing them to make deep cuts in their overhead.

Benefits of outsourced legal staffing
Cost efficiency. The need to improve cost efficiency reaches across legal departments. Companies can reduce certain legal costs by 50% while gaining high-quality services by hiring highly skilled offshore talent at competitive rates. Offshore workers can perform judgment-based legal services and functions with results that rival what North American, European, and Australian companies can obtain locally.
Improved focus. Outsourcing frees up onshore personnel to spend more time on higher value activities. While your local team is working on mission-critical tasks, your offshore team takes care of the details. Working with teams in different time zones also offers round-the-clock advantages for both onshore attorneys and clients.
Shorter implementation time. A legal services provider like Sourcefit can reduce implementation time and capital costs because it offers companies better flexibility and scalability. Hiring offshore personnel extends our clients’ bandwidth capabilities to reduce turnaround time for urgent legal projects. Your offshore team can work at night and have a project ready by the time your local team gets to the office.
Top-level talent. The Philippines has a growing pool of highly trained and motivated legal workers. By working with Sourcefit, our clients access high-level talent and niche expertise quickly at the lowest industry prices. We hire only the most qualified legal professionals and admin staff, so that your clients receive the same level of quality that they’ve come to expect.
