IAOP Chapter:
Legal Outsourcing Topic

CHAPTER CHAIR


The next Legal Outsourcing Chapter webinar – July 16, 2008!

Please join us for the second Legal Outsourcing Chapter webinar, chaired by LawScribe, Inc, on Wednesday, July 16, 2008 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 Noon EDT.

Chapter chair, Mark Ross will provide an introduction of the IAOP Legal Outsourcing Chapter as well as the expert panelists who will speak to the topic of “Legal Outsourcing: A Practical Perspective.”  Here is your opportunity to delve beyond the rhetoric and obtain a practical understanding of where the legal outsourcing industry currently stands plus gain insight from real life case studies shared by legal process outsourcing “buyers” and “providers.”

The webinar will begin with insight into “Document Review” and “Patent Support” delivered by Arun Jethlamani and Neeraja Kandala of Value Notes.

Next, Connie Brenton, Assistant General Counsel for Sun Microsystems, will provide an in-depth case study which will deal with Sun’s decision to “offshore” a large-scale document review project, from the search for the provider through the RFP process and concluding with Sun’s analysis of the projects outcome. 

Lastly, Anthony DeJohn, U.S. Attorney and LawScribe Vice President of Intellectual Property, will present a client case study that relates specifically to a leading technology company’s decision to outsource offshore all their patent searching activities.  The case study will include an examination of the practical requirements incumbent on the client corporation to ensure full compliance with the U.S. Export Control Regulations as they impact on the export of technological information.

Inaugural Meeting held
November 7, 2007

The inaugural Meeting of IAOP’s Legal Outsourcing Chapter took place via webinar on Wednesday, November 7, 2007 and began at 11:00 am.

The topic for the first meeting was:  Legal Outsourcing:  2007 and Beyond, and included:

- An Overview of the Legal Outsourcing Marketplace

 in 2007

 - BPO Entry into the LPO Marketplace


Future meetings will cover a wide variety of legal issues related to

 outsourcing, and not simply those confined to the Legal Process

 Outsourcing arena. Possible future meeting subjects for discussion may

 include:

- Topical discussion around key terms within outsourcing contracts

 where there is obfuscation, confusion or conflicts (e.g. Intellectual

 Property Rights in BPO, Limitation of liability as a result of privacy

 act violation, safe-harbor act provisions)

- Lessons learned from negotiating sessions

 - Global agreements and terms that affect a global agreement (e.g.

 enforcement of judgment in another country, IP rights, local laws and

 their impact on agreement - supersedence)


The primary purpose of the IAOP Legal Outsourcing Topic Chapter is to provide a platform for Legal Outsourcing solution providers, clients, potential clients and other interested parties operating or intending on operating within the emerging Legal Outsourcing space to share ideas, concepts, practical guidelines and contacts with each other. This should allow for the commencement of discussions among providers and clients aimed at developing an industry-wide recognized standard and accreditation program through IAOP, which will assist in improving the performance of both existing and future Legal Outsourcing relationships. Once established, the Chapter members will also consider the institution of a Global Legal Qualification for attorneys employed by Legal Process Outsourcing companies.
