The authors of The Rise of Legal Services Outsourcing: Risk and Opportunity have written the most thoughtful and comprehensive view on the Legal Services Outsourcing industry till date. They have been bold in clarifying the analysis framework in evaluating the pros and cons of LSO, and provide the reader a clear path to determine the scope and potential opportunities – indeed the very promise of LSO. The stratification of legal services is the “new normal”, and legal practitioners and consumers well versed in LSO will drive differentiated value to their ultimate clients. Perhaps more than any other scholars and observers of the evolution of the practice of law, the authors have provided a much needed light on LSO.
