More than one-half of London’s top 30 legal firms are involved in or considering legal process outsourcing. Eight of them including Linklaters, SJ Berwin, and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer are weighing their options, while eight more, including Allen & Overy, Eversheds, Lovells, Pinsent Masons, Wragge & Co, and Simmons and Simmons are already engaged in the process. Areas being considered are document review, due diligence, contract development and legal research.
Eleven of the top 30 firms told Legal Week that they had no plans to outsource, but not all of them had discounted it as an option.
