Selecting a Legal Research Service Provider

© Outsourcing Law Global LLC.  All rights reserved.

    A number of American and foreign service providers have established legal research offerings.   While you have already developed expertise in hiring outside legal counsel, there may be additional criteria for you to properly evaluate legal research services providers ("LRSP's").  You may need to review your metrics for service quality.  You should consider adopting a life-cycle approach that includes risk analysis tools.

    As with any business process outsourcing, such outsourcing calls for appropriate assessment of the enterprise customer's needs, due diligence and selection of one or more suitable service providers, definitions of service quality and metrics for milestones and completion, ongoing supervision of performance and evaluation of quality as delivered, and feedback for process improvement.

    If you would like information on possible LRSP's who could provide services, or to compare alternatives, please contact wbierce@outsourcing-law.com.
