How Important Is Legal Research in Your Practice?

Legal Research can be a complex and time-consuming process for attorneys and paralegals. A small negligence can cause major damage to the firm as the outcome of the research leads to legal decision making. The fundamental step in research is to find the appropriate cases governing the issues in question but the ability to analyze what is found and reach a conclusion based on it is also equally important. Usually legal research is known to take much time and effort, and access to online legal research databases such as LexisNexis and Westlaw can be costly. Consequently, law firms and other attorneys turn to companies like Draft n Craft to outsource their legal research needs.

“Enjoy while we work” – Holiday Bonanza offers by Draft and Craft Law Firm

It’s November and the holiday season is just round the corner. The festive feeling which once started only on Thanksgiving, now kicks off right from Halloween with stops at Turkey Day, Christmas and/or Kawanzaa depending upon everyone’s traditions and fortunately still ends on New Years.

The end of the year can involve a lot of balancing of work with holidays, as there always seem to be a flood of work during this time. With so many people going off on holidays, it can be quite taxing for businesses specially connected to legal services.

Some of the common worries of law firms and attorneys revolve around managing their basic back office work relating to drafting, review, transcription, depositions etc. Ensuring work carries on while you enjoy on a holiday is no more a luxury. The concept of having virtual paralegals and virtual secretaries to manage your work 24/7 has made this possible making life for attorneys stress free during holidays.

Draft n Craft, a legal process outsourcing company offers attorneys a hassle free delivery model giving them complete peace of mind.

Rakesh K Sharma, Chief Executive Officer of Draft n Craft, said: “Keeping the spirit of the holiday season we are offering complete solutions to attorneys and law firms by providing legal and paralegal services at discounted rates during the holiday season. We have seen that during the month of December most law firms are burdened with heavy back office work and lack the staff to do it. Keeping this in mind we decided to give special offers as part of the Holiday Bonanza from 15 November – 10 January 2011.”

CONCERNS – LEGAL OFFSHORING TO INDIA.

The advent of legal off-shoring came out of the crying need to cut costs. We understand the reasons of various giant in electronics, automobile & other sectors opening their industries across the border with motive to transfer the technology for developing the products at cheaper rates. Many big brands of the world had opened their units in countries like China, India with the sole motive to produce the units at lower cost. One does not understand as to why concerns were not raised for those, off-shoring of huge industries out of their countries.

Let me examine it from the view point of consumer living in developed country. Mr. ‘X’ living in a developed country wants to purchase an article. He gets two options i.e. pay ‘A1’ for the said article being produced & sold in his country or pay ‘A2’ for the same article but being produced in other country & sold in his country. The different questions arising in his mind for choosing one of them can be put like this.

A. What is the difference between A1 & A2?
B. Is there any quality variation between the articles produced in different countries?

Mr. ‘X’ would prefer buying the article in which he pays less and gets the quality product. As I understand Mr. ‘X’ would buy article by paying ‘A2’ as the cost would be quite less. I am sure Mr. ‘X’ did not think of the loss of job in his country if he buys the article produced in other country. No eyebrows were raised for the export of goods produced by developing countries to developed countries.

But incase of export of services by developing countries to developed countries the logics become different. However, we still think of loss of jobs while talking about offshore industry. The concerns raised for outsourcing of services get a national touch when we try to understand and justify the outsourcing. The real concerns like quality, confidentiality are dominated by the issue of Nationalism. The decisive factors determining the issue of off-shoring/ outsourcing are:

a) The need of outsourcing which in turn is influenced by following things:
i. Cost effectiveness
ii. Non-availability of resources
iii. Time Zone Benefits

b) The availability of provider /people to give services depending on the following:

i. Being compatible in providing the services
ii. Availability of resources
iii. Capable of delivering quality services
iv. Breaking the language & accent barriers

The Push & Pull factors match up to determine and resolve the concerns of this infant outsourcing/off-shoring industry.
