SAN DIEGO, California - Outsourcing takes a hold on yet another industry, surprisingly, this time it's the legal world.
Robert Armstrong, President and Co-Founder of The American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys, highlighted his expertise on
the subject by speaking at the Legal Industry Outsourcing Forum in New York City on May 23, 2007.
“Outsourcing is one of the unstoppable trends of the 21st century,” Armstrong says. “Taking any business to the next level
requires fresh and creative thinking in order to keep a competitive edge. Law firms are no different in their need to evolve.
Business process outsourcing is a cost effective solution for law firms of any size. They not only substantially reduce costs
but guarantee top quality service in a tight labor market.”
Armstrong has experience with the triumphs and pitfalls of outsourcing basic legal work overseas through a partnership he
established for the members of The American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys. The members are able to outsource backroom
legal tasks such as data entry and document preparation to a staff overseas that has already been trained on the software and
systems used by Academy member firms. Those using outsourced staff free up the productivity of in-house employees who can now
devote themselves to higher level tasks.
“Innovative firms have already witnessed the benefits of offshore outsourcing.” In order to stay competitive, Armstrong
predicts that all law firms will ultimately need to incorporate similar practices in the near future.
