Abstract: Companies across the globe are increasingly concentrating on their core activities and outsourcing a number of their non-core activities to more cost advantageous locations. One non-core activity being increasingly outsourced is related to legal work. DuPont pioneered Legal Process Outsourcing with its 'DuPont Legal Model', to tackle the growing number of litigations being faced by the company and also to reduce the costs involved. This led to the emergence of an organised Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) industry, with a number of companies following DuPont's example. Besides corporate entities, a number of US-based law firms also started outsourcing a part of their legal work. India has emerged as a favoured destination for majority of the work related to legal outsourcing. However, a number of challenges remain for the country in making a success story out of its LPO industry in the future. |
