Partners Seek New Models but Wary of LPOs - A Holistic Perspective

In a well-presented post on the Prism Legal blog, Ron Friedmann addresses the recent survey by LegalWeek regarding legal outsourcing.

The LegalWeek article, Partners Seek New Models but Wary of LPOs, features a survey of UK lawyers regarding outsourced legal services. The survey shows a reticence of United Kingdom lawyers to use outside and offshore vendors.

In his post, Friedmann provides a more holistic perspective for the survey extrapolations and writes regarding the survey, “My rule of thumb: once a new thing gets to the point that major legal publications run just this type of survey, it almost inevitably means wide-spread adoption cannot be that far off.”
