Is outsourcing right for your law firm? Law firms of all sizes are discovering opportunities from outsourcing some of their core operating functions that have traditionally been performed in-house. This Special Report outlines a highly firm-specific approach to identify and prioritise the components of a business case for outsourcing, as well as in-depth examinations of three representative types of outsourced services that are available to law firms: *Patent research; *Cybersecurity; and *Large-volume document review. It will examine their potential impacts on a law firm's bottom line, and the frequently encountered management challenges in a law firm's relationship with its external service provider. It concludes with a look at the future of outsourcing in the legal services industry. Edited by Norman K Clark, this report is a step-by-step guide to a well-informed outsourcing decision as well as a roadmap for implementing it in a way that produces the best return on the law firm's investment of management attention and resources. It will be of interest to anyone considering the option of outsourcing their core legal service functions, including small and mid-sized law firms, both those in general practice and specialised boutiques.

Outsourcing of Core Legal Service Functions is a must read as it provides an answer regarding how to maintain profitable practices illuminating options for legal managers facing current challenges which have disrupted law firm business models. -- Carlos Taboada
Norman has once again excelled in the delivery of an easy to follow roadmap to increased productivity. The self-evaluation of competencies, risks, costs and opportunities to ensure that a firm can outsource inefficient functions while increasing quality and profitability thereof are key. By doing so, firms can capitalize on the allocation of freed up resources to areas of greater profitability. By illustrating three areas for competence outsourcing, each of us can identify the opportunities available within our firms to maximize returns in our own realities. If you are responsible for management, you need to pay attention to this issue as pressure to deliver in a post-COVID world will be significant and knowing where and how to optimize is critical. -- Ricardo León Santacruz
