The Rise of Legal Services Outsourcing: Risk and Opportunity

Mary Lacity, Leslie Willcocks and Andrew Burgess present practices used by Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) clients, providers and advisors to realize value from LPO services. The book is based on data from 27 providers, interviews with clients and lessons learned from prior Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) research. Based on the authors’ deep understanding of the evolution of ITO and BPO, The Rise of Legal Process Outsourcing addresses the transformation of legal work, LPO strategy, provider selection and contractual governance, as well as predicting the trends that will come to shape the LPO market.
