Allen & Overy (A&O) hopes to set a precedent for law firm offshoring with its plans to launch a 300-strong support centre in Belfast. While the firm is not the first to relocate support staff to lower-cost locations, it has taken a different tack to its rivals. A&O's decision means it avoids going as far as Clifford Chance, which has a service centre in India, or CMS Cameron McKenna, which is to outsource virtually its entire back office, but goes further than the likes of Linklaters, which has a small support office in Colchester.
