Bethesda, MD – Legal Advantage, LLC, a leading legal support services provider, announced today that it  is sponsoring a seminar titled “LEGAL PROCESS OUTSOURCING (LPO) IN INDIA – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WHO, HOW, WHY, AND WHY NOT?”

The half-day seminar will be held on November 14, 2008, at the Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport, Orlanado, FL.

This seminar will be of benefit to both legal professionals and business executives who are not familiar with the LPO reality, but also to private attorneys, corporate counsels, ethicists, and corporate executives who  already avail LPO services from India.

Ashar Akhtar, Managing Attorney of Legal Advantage said, “Hopefully this program will put to rest many of the biased notions surrounding  the phenomenon of legal support service offshoring. Naturally, there are going to be some ethical and business question marks, but that’s exactly what we are here for — to provide answers to those concerns, to gain more information from our panelists, and to educate the participants on the benefits and best practices when considering offshoring.”

The LPO industry has skyrocketed in recent years, with revenues for offshored legal work forecasted to grow exponentially.  Process-driven services involving routine judgment, such as document review, are the most common forms litigation support work currently being offshored to India.  The seminar will address best practices in offshoring from both an outsourcing attorney’s and service provider’s point of view.

The Conference has gained approval for International Law Certification Credit, General Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Credit, Intellectual Certification Credit, Business Litigation Certification Credit, and Ethics Credit.  For more information on this and to register online, please visit:
