Event Description
Deadline to Register Online: August 23, 2016
According to an IBIS World report, the annual spend on
legal contract labor in the US is $21 billion dollars – this includes
contractors, freelance attorneys and legal outsourcing providers. But not all of
this spend is by large law firms and corporate legal departments. Small law
firms are increasingly utilizing on-demand legal research and writing services
to handle parts of their ongoing matters. However, many attorneys have concerns
about the ethics implications of legal outsourcing and wonder how it may
effectively grow their practice.
Attendees will learn:
- How the ethics rules provide guidance to the use of
outsourcing research and writing tasks, including confidentiality, privilege,
and Rule 11 issues
- How small law firms may improve profitability and overall efficiency
through outsourcing research and writing, while conforming with ethics
rules
.
