It’s a story from Australia but every single law school in the world should be reading this. Full credit, with distinction, for Stephanie Quine and Lawyers Weekly for this the article below. Read it, but the crux of it is – law schools are even slower than law firms to catch up on the […]

For anyone who is 40+ the UK, there is an interesting parallel with what British Airways did with their budget airline called “Fly Go”. The quick version of the story is that they […]
It is amazing the power of Twitter, even as I only use it to 1% of its potential. I’d been reading through the day’s LPO news, working out what to blog about next, and out jumped a story about Cameron McKenna and Osborne Clarke and their outsource provider Integreon. The headlines certainly were all “doom […]
» LPOs Stealing Deal Work from Law Firms » Bloomberg Law While being flattered about being mentioned in this recording, I should not let vanity get in the way of substance. The facts are that LPOs ARE taking work from law firms. “Stealing” is not the word I would use, but the net flow is […]
I am always open to new ideas and ways of working. That is how I got into the Legal Outsourcing world, and it is probably the single common trait that all my clients have had. So, today I read in lawyerist.com about an App that would help manage my emails. It is free so, I […]

While I am amused that New Yorkers can be so insular (self focused, self-indulgent…you choose the right phrase), in the LPO space we can also be a bit like that. We have a habit of thinking about LPO ( Legal Process […]
Earlier this year, driving down the West Side Highway in New York, I noticed the billboard pictured above. Actually, I was being driven, so I was not breaking any laws when I took the photograph – honest! Recent experiences in the Legal Outsourcing field reminded me of this picture and how close of a parable […]
UPDATE AS OF 8 NOVEMBER 2011 – ONLY 5 SPACES LEFT! Almost every day of the week I work with lawyers who are interested in buying LPO services. I get to see their reaction to suppliers. And I get to hear what buyers really think and say about suppliers. I see why they select one […]
The world according to Google is an interesting place. Like many of us, I get a daily dump of new posting relating to my specialist areas. I am an avid “clicker” so I do look at 80% of what I get sent. But sometimes, just sometimes, something jumps out that is trully startling. And so […]
Next week we are publishing the next in our series of papers on the Legal Services Outsourcing market. As well as reviewing the common structural issues facing law firms it shows: Why law firms across the globe are really struggling with Legal Process Outsourcing How to turn LPO for law firms into a revenue generating […]
I’d planned to address LPO Project Risk at a later date, but recent events (a hurricane, an earthquake, a summer seemingly spent visiting A&E) made me think again about how to deliver successful LPO Projects and how The LPO Program is constructed to address Risk. From it’s inception The LPO Program embodied a “Risk Based […]
At the start of any LPO project there are a number of clear business objectives. Of more concern is the significant “project fog” that prevents project sponsors, leaders, and participants from seeing a clear path forward to address these objectives. The early stages of The LPO Program focus on giving participants the confidence that the […]
