A&O signs outsourcing deal with LPO provider Integreon

There are undoubtedly a proportion of clients who will welcome outsourcing if it reduces their bill, regardless of whether or not the quality isn’t always quite up to scratch. These people inevitably shop at Primark. As a young lawyer, for the reasons so eloquently outlined by others above; the concept of outsourcing legal work stinks. It is a fundamentally PEP driven vehicle masquerading as bowing to client’s interests. Pre-negotiated fixed rate fees for low end work is the obvious move if we want to stop the rug being pulled from under us. This will maintain client loyalty and high standards, as well as the future development of young British/British-based talent.
