Ethics of Offshoring, Redux
At Strategic Legal Technology, Ron Friedmann brings news of another bar opinion on the ethics of offshoring legal work. He summarizes:
"[T]he San Diego County Bar Association has issued Ethics Opinon 2007-1, which analyzes in detail a factual scenario of a California lawyer who outsources significant substantive aspects of legal analysis to lawyers in India. It’s a long opinion that answers three questions. In my reading (and - remember - I don’t practice law), subject to some reasonable caveats, offshoring is permissible."
Friedmann wrote in October about an opinion on offshoring from The Association of the Bar of the City of New York, which likewise concluded that the practice was ethically permissible. The complete San Diego opinion is here. Further analysis of it is available from The National Law Journal and from Mark Ross at the blog Legal Process Outsourcing.
