Law firms and corporate legal departments are quickly beginning to recognize the numerous benefits of offshore legal outsourcing. These include:
- Cost Savings: You can significantly reduce your costs through offshore outsourcing; particularly fixed costs such as employee costs;
- Scalability: You can flexibly scale your operations on an as needed basis;
- Productivity: You can increase your productivity.
- Faster Turnaround Times: The differences in time zones between India and Canada means that lawyers in India can perform services whilst their Canadian clients are asleep. This, together with the availability of lawyers, results in faster turnaround times.
India began to benefit from the offshoring trend in the early 1990s by providing services at the low-end of the spectrum, such as back-office processes, call centers and transaction processing. India quickly began to move up the value chain by providing more complex services such as software development, research and development, equity analysis, tax return processing, radiological analysis, medical transcription, and much, much more.
There are several reasons that we have chosen India, including the following:
- India is a Leading Destination: India is the leading destination for offshore outsourced legal services;
- Talent Pool: India has the largest pool of English-speaking graduates outside of the United States, and with its emphasis on advanced education, we are able to work with “the best and the brightest”;
- Cost Savings: Lawyers in India earn, on average, about one-fifth of what their North American counterparts would earn. This translates into significant cost savings for our clients;
- English Common Law: India, like Canada, is an English common law jurisdiction. Indian lawyers are therefore well equipped to handle Canadian legal work;
- Scalability: The legal talent pool in India is highly scalable. By some estimates, there are about 1 million lawyers in India, with about 70,000 law students graduating each year;
- Faster Turnaround Times: The differences in time zones between India and Canada means that lawyers in India can perform services whilst their Canadian clients are asleep. This, together with the availability of lawyers, results in faster turnaround times.
Legal education in India is similar to Canada in that the medium of education is English, and studies encompass a wide range of substantive and procedural laws. A law degree (LLB) can be obtained either through a 3 year post graduate degree in law or a 5 year full time law degree after graduating from high school.
In addition, many lawyers continue their education with a Master of Laws (LLM) degree; and article with a law firm.
The services provided by Legalwise are done so at the request of Canadian law firms and corporate legal departments and are being provided directly to those lawyers or their designees.
In addition, most work is "routine" in nature and involves general legal principles and sound legal education and training. The fact that Indian lawyers are trained in an English common law system equips them well for such work.
