Draft n Craft’s Support in Wage Discrimination Lawsuits

Wage discrimination lawsuits are very common and frequently seen in the US legal system. Employers who do not pay overtime or appropriate minimum wages or deny rights of the workers actually violate state and federal laws such as the Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA). They may not be necessarily violating the rights of one or two employees but for many of them. For violating labor laws like FLSA, a wage and hour lawsuit can be filed against the employer. Such a lawsuit can become a class action lawsuit if many such workers who have faced similar harm come together and sue the same employer for their rights.

Draft n Craft, one of the leading legal support companies based in New Delhi, India, has been continuously supporting the legal industry with a variety of its services that allow law firms to save a lot of time and money without compromising on the quality of the work.
 

Usually, deposition summaries, legal research and writing of different legal documents are frequently used during the different stages of the case. But time and again there are a plethora of different documents which need to be organized and prepared in way that they are presentable and serve their purpose. For instance, one of the clients of Draft n Craft, an employment law firm dealing majorly in class action litigation cases, sent a huge set of documents to be used to determine the overtime owed by the employers to the employees. The team at Draft n Craft was provided with the pay slips along with the hours worked [time cards] of each employee. Based on the rate of pay and the details provided, the team at Draft n Craft quickly put together a spreadsheet to evaluate the actual overtime owed by the employer versus the amount already paid by the employer to the employee. This helped the law firm to move forward on the case at a faster pace and get the desired results.
 

Serving more than 200 clients in the US, Draft n Craft is one of the most promising legal outsourcing company based in New Delhi, India. The company offers variety of legal, paralegal and administrative/secretarial support to law firms, in house legal departments and other legal vendors. The services offered by the company not only save time and money but also help improving attorney-paralegal ratio of law firms.

IMMIGRATION OR OFFSHORING

Developed economies always become attractive and as such magnetize people from other economies. This results in people traveling by any mean to those countries where the economies are developed. United States have always been attracting people from developing countries since long. Number of people applied for immigration to US, similarly number of people were granted one or the other type of visas in last five years. US policies for visa had become tough after 11th September’2001 it was but natural.

How so ever tough the immigration policies had become yet the immigration continued people have always been finding one or the other ways to travel to developed countries like US & UK. This had always put lot of constraints to their economy, security, culture, religion & other aspects of those countries.

I understand the immigration was the first part of balancing the economies. The next step turned out to be off-shoring of services instead of inviting people to the country. The birth of off-shoring is being deep rooted. The debate between immigration versus off-shoring is yet to commence so it may not be ideal to find any opinion on the same but it will developed once there will be interaction & discussions.

Draft n Craft launches AptCaptive™: Level 2.0 of Legal Process Outsourcing

So much is talked about Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) that we barely find any law-firm and corporation incognizant to the concept and its benefits. Despite this, there is reluctance towards outsourcing in general and offshore outsourcing in particular.

Traditionally, there are two popular modules of outsourcing the legal processes: first through Third Party Service Providers/Vendors (TPSP’s) and/or second by owning one’s Captive Unit in offshore locations. Though both are popular but one cannot rule out the risks and impediments associated with either.

 Perceptions on outsourcing legal work to vendors (TPSP’s)

Perceptions favoring:

1. No huge capital investments required.
2. Customized solutions.
3. Competitive pricing.
4. Flexibility to scale up and down business relationship.
5. Retains decision-making, therefore relationship with TPSP is clear (fee-based, quality-based).
6. As it is a contract based mutual agreement thereby there is more business commitment.
7. Ability to focus on core business issues.
8. No compromise in quality at cost effective rates.
9. Better process maturity, resource flexibility and economies of scale.
10. Flexibility in deploying new technology.
11. No requirement to hire additional personnel.
12. No legal or statutory compliance issues to set up a new unit.

Perceptions discouraging:
1. Risk of Confidentiality being at stake.
2. Risk of possible drop in quality standards.
3. Absence of processes to monitor metrics and possible timely intervention when issues are escalated.
4. Tight business margins.

 Perceptions on owning a Captive unitPerceptions favoring:

1. Maintenance of in-house confidentiality & quality.
2. Management and retention of control over risk profile, especially for critical business areas.
3. Development for global delivery models with centralized and standardized processes.
4. All investments made on people and infrastructure is completely retained.
5. Better control over processes, time lines & enhanced quality of operations.
6. Alignment of offshore initiatives with their culture & values.
7. Creation of robust technology infrastructure for greater efficiency and scalability of operations.

Perceptions discouraging:

1. Huge Capital Investments.
2. Recurring Costs.
3. Hassles of incorporating the captive unit offshore like India.
4. Exit impossible without incurring high costs.
5. Compulsion to keep absolute control over processes.
6. Legal Requirements to set-up captive unit, say in India:
i. Incorporation of the Company as a legal entity.
ii. Local registrations.
iii. Bank Accounts.
iv. Appointment of Company Secretaries & Auditors.
v RBI/Government Approvals.
vi. Ensuring legal and statutory compliances.
vii. Local taxation issues.
7. Human Resources requirements of captive center
i. Staffing .
ii. Training & Talent management.
iii. Hiring of Core Team.
iv. Employee retention.
8. Facilities & Infrastructure
i. Vendor Management & Negotiations.
ii. Hardware & Software Procurement Systems.
iii. Communications & Network Integrations.
iv. Acquisition and operationalizing of facilities.

With the aim to revolutionize the LPO paradigm, Draft n Craft has devised the “apt solution” destined to enrich legal outsourcing experience throughout the industry.

“The AptCaptive™ is an advanced Legal Off shoring model tailored and run as per client’s requirements by Draft n Craft, retaining all in-house benefits at reduced costs.”

For a long time, a desire was felt throughout the industry to transcend to new levels of Legal Process Outsourcing. Without doubt the AptCaptive™ is at present the lex epitome of the legal outsourcing industry. The module however is so ambitious that, in its initial stages Draft n Craft will be offering this to only a limited selected group of companies and law firms.
