Growth in offshoring legal work appears to continue, at least judging by the most recent update to the list of outsourced legal services that excited utterances and I maintain.
The latest list of legal outsourcing and offshoring contains more than a dozen new entries since our August 2005 update. Growth in number of suppliers does not necessarily correlate perfectly with growth in employment or revenue, but it does suggest many offshore entrepreneurs, especially in India, see an opportunity. For a good analysis of the market, see New Offshoring Legal Services Report at excited utterances.
Reader reports of offshoring or new offshore vendors or other outsourcing experiences are welcome. Can anyone report on trying offshore document review (not just objective coding)? I continue to believe that any client that needs a team of 100+ US contract-lawyer reviewers should experiment with moving some of the work to a team in India.
