Think only low-cost repetitive work gets sent overseas? Think again.
Ron Friedmann recently spoke with the co-founders of a legal Indian offshore service who "serve as the 'contracts department' for some customers, including handling agreements for non-U.S. jurisdictions." Friedmann writes,
“[one founder] says that 'more than 50% of our revenue is high value work rather than routine, high volume work; this came as surprise to us but we handle it well.' I asked if this makes them a U.S. law firm with operations in India. They say no because they do not make legal decisions and because the company delivers its services only to in-house lawyers, who review the work prior to delivery to clients."
