A&O signs outsourcing deal with LPO provider Integreon

Comment

Is the drive to outsource really client driven? Or a ploy by the Baby Boomer Generation of partners to reduce their UK workforce (their largest cost) and provide a lower quality service to clients while maintaining PEP? Is offshoring legal work simply a means of avoiding paying UK salary, tax, NI contributions and (possibly) pension contributions? Does offshoring really benefit HM Treasury? Are UK trainee solicitors (hopefully tomorrow's partners) receiving proper training if work they should be cutting their teeth on is sent offshore? Does offshoring signal the beginning of the end of a commitment to provide young UK trainee solicitors with proper training?
