LPO companies in the Philippines
Legal outsourcing, also commonly called legal process outsourcing (LPO) refers to the practice of a law firm or legal counsel within a corporation obtaining legal support services from an outside law firm or legal services company.
Legal Outsourcing involves contracting an external provider to perform a business function or service that was typically performed in-house, at a law firm. Many business functions performed at law firms, such as customer support, data entry, email response handling, social media marketing, research, technical support, human resources, and payroll are currently being outsourced. Legal Outsourcing Companies in the Philippines are benefiting from this wave, as more and more companies choose the Philippines over India.
Other reasons for outsourcing include:
- Sharpen Focus of Firm
- Enhance Access to Talent
- Improved Quality
- Creating Leisure Time
- Best Practices
- Risk Management
- Change Catalyst
- Cost Restructuring
- Enhanced Innovation
- Improved Flexibility
- Improved Customer Service
Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO), if executed properly, can make a law firm more efficient, scalable, flexible and profitable, by reducing overhead and payroll costs. It also alleviates documentation bottlenecks and allows firms to increase their caseloads, often dramatically.
Outsourcing is also called "staff leasing". The staff-leasing agency charges a fee along with the employees' wages, much like temporary employment agencies. This fee is often less than the cost of hiring human-resource experts and payroll accountants. Because workers are not considered employees of the company in a legal sense, personal injury and workers' compensation claims become the responsibility of the virtual staff leasing agency. Most outsourcing providers are located offshore, in other countries where wages are less than that back home. The Philippines is one such country. Labor rates in the Philippines are extremely attractive as is their large, college-educated, English speaking workforce.
