The American Bar Association (ABA) has waded into the debate over legal outsourcing by describing the outsourcing trend as “a salutary one for our globalised economy,” reports the New York Law Journal.
A growing number of legal process outsourcing (LPO) companies have launched in recent years to offer the services of lawyers abroad to handle the most labour-intensive aspects of US legal matters, especially document review in large-scale litigation. India has been the most popular destination for legal outsourcing because it has a common-law system and English is widely spoken.
