Red Bridge Strategy

Legal groups are increasingly under pressure to reduce costs, even as the volume of work in many legal departments is increasing.  For organizations with high volumes of litigation documents to review, contracts to draft and review, IP portfolios to manage, or even immigration applications to submit, Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) may be an appropriate mechanism to cut costs and improve efficiency. While many U.S. firms have experience outsourcing administrative and paralegal work, outsourcing legal work, especially overseas, deserves additional deliberation.

Red Bridge Strategy’s LPO Advisory Services helps clients evaluate the opportunities and challenges of LPO.  We can help you define your strategic LPO objectives, analyze your current legal processes, and evaluate the various approaches to outsourcing legal, paralegal and administrative work in order to recommend the optimal solution specific to your business.  Our consultants can help determine how your internal processes can be changed to take advantage of lower cost services, the merits of working with a third-party vendor as compared to starting your own “captive” LPO operation, and  what governance model(s) between your organization and the service provider will ensure quality, confidentiality, and security of your matters. 

The Red Bridge Strategy team brings a blend of legal expertise and extensive experience in both business process redesign and the outsourcing services industry in the US and India. Our structured process to evaluate LPO options can help you to determine the most appropriate and cost-effective approach for your organization, and to design efficient processes to safely and reliably transition work from your organization to service providers and back again.
