The practice and business of law are changing rapidly. Automation, new kinds of providers, and mounting pressure on the billable hour model, have created a "perfect storm" for the growth of legal process outsourcing (LPO). We invite practitioners to participate in this growing community and to learn together how to leverage best practices about managing scope, performance, and stakeholder engagement in outsourcing relationships -- learned from the 20+ years of experience with outsourcing other functions -- and how to apply and adapt those to LPO, from early adopters with experience selecting and managing LPO providers.

Easy Mistakes to Make When Making Decisions About LPO
There certainly are a lot of stories — in the news and the blogosphere — about how much legal work is moving from law fi rms to legal process outsourcing (LPO) providers around the world. There are those who prophesize the end of law fi rms as we know them (or at least large ones), and those who are just as certain that this is all just a passing fad which will surely be shown to be unsustainable, if not unethical.

Managing the Risks of Legal Process Outsourcing
The legal and regulatory environment has only gotten more complex and the risks more substantial. The growth in data to be managed and safeguarded — whether it is for discovery in litigation, or due diligence in an acquisition, or regulatory compliance purposes — has been explosive.
