In recent years India has been catapulted into becoming one
of the most preferred destinations for legal outsourcing.
With the increasing acceptance of India as a preferred destination
for services offshoring, a range of high-value services in the
offshoring chain, requiring not just skill but knowledge and
analysis as well are being outsourced here.
Legal services in demand comprise paralegal and research support,
contract and patent drafting, and litigation support services.
There is a strong inclination amongst the legal departments
of the U.S, the U.K. and a sizeable part of Europe to outsource
legal research and professional paralegal services
to lawyers in India. The flourish of legal
outsource ventures complemented with world-class resources
and expertise for offshore legal support is
also boosting the growth of outsourcing by legal entities.
The main motive driving this trend is the way the legal
process outsourcing business runs at exceptionally
low costs without compromising on quality. Some other major
countries in the legal BPO service market include
Australia, South Korea, Japan and China.
Legal business Process outsourcing is an aspect
of business process outsourcing. The legal
industry across the globe is gravitating towards outsourcing
for gaining efficiencies and staying profitable in a highly
competitive marketplace. Recognition of the advantages, both
intellectual and economic offered by India creates a compelling
case for outsourcing legal work.
The Indian Legal System
The Indian Legal System is quite similar to
that of the U.K and the U.S. The Indian litigation and dispute
resolution methodologies are primarily derived from the classic
Constitution of the biggest Democratic Republic in the world
and are accepted and understood universally. The Indian legal
system, incidentally is also one of the most researched and
informed legislations that affords a uniform yet practical interpretation
of legislations.
The India Advantage
The Indian talent pool is full of promise and rapidly gaining
a serious footing with US law firms and law departments showing
tremendous faith in offshoring legal work, predominantly in
paralegal research services, research support,
contract drafting, contract management, litigation support
and intelligence research.
Apart from cost effectiveness in terms of wage differential,
savings in perks, overhead, and working conditions, the drivers
for offshoring in India are availability of law graduates trained
in the English language acquainted with Common Law and Civil
Law of the USA and the UK, the quality and speed of work done
and the role of analysis in interpreting laws.
Indian lawyers are ideal for offshore support
by virtue of being well-versed in Common Law doctrines. A good
legal advisor is a critical component in any
legal trial. The Indian legal professionals believe in analytically
interpreting laws and apply legal fact finding research
methods. They are in a good position to appreciate
the proceedings and understand nuances.
