Global Legal Process Management Boot Camp. The Boot Camp will

Ethical Considerations in Legal Outsourcing
Who are the LPO Employees (& Why is that Important)?

Working with Indian Teams: Differences & Similarities

Additional topics – to be confirmed
Organizations considering offshore LPO need to understand when
outsourcing is appropriate, what globalized processes can provide, who
the credible vendors are, and how to structure engagements. Delegates
will receive the first-hand exposure necessary to evaluate their needs
and options by hearing from both vendor and independent industry
experts, touring the facilities of leading providers, and experiencing
the culture and infrastructure in which the providers operate. The Boot
Camp will be particularly valuable to senior corporate attorneys seeking
to quickly evaluate the viability of legal outsourcing for their
organizations and for law firm partners who wish to better understand a
new paradigm for their matters.
The Boot Camp begins in Mumbai on Tuesday, May 18th, allowing
participants to begin their trips from the U.S. or U.K. on Sunday or
Monday respectively. Presentations will continue on May 19th
and 20th at Mumbai and Delhi-area industry facilities. On
Friday, May 21st participants are free to attend to other business in
India, visit the Taj Mahal, or return to the U.S. or U.K. arriving the
same day. Registration and additional information are available at www.RedBridgeStrategy.com,
