Outsourcing: The Next Generation
Outsourcing is top of the news in many industries, and the legal industry is no exception. Recent news reports and editorials comment exhaustively on many aspects of outsourcing, and for any of those aspects you can find someone who will opine convincingly at either end of the spectrum. Many large firms have taken the step of locating a portion of their back office outside a principal office, including, as was described in the January interview with Ralph Baxter, Orrick's Global Operations Center in West Virginia. These arrangements, while generally a great move for the firms, should not be confused with outsourcing because the services are still being provided within the firm. However, they may certainly be a viable alternative to outsourcing.
