The Hybrid Approach: Domestic and Offshore Resources

When appropriate, domestic contract attorneys can be seamlessly integrated with offshore legal resources to perform the necessary document review task for the project.

There are two parts to this solution: 1) the task of determining the right mix of domestic and offshore work; and 2) managing the work flow and assuring quality and continuity.

Mix, Match and Integrate

Different types of cases and legal initiatives require different equations, depending on the nature of the work and the timing, logistics and skill-level demands of the assignment. An experienced legal service "aggregator" (or Pivotal Provider) understands how to combine resources to ensure a cohesive effort, and can make related decisions "on the fly" as the litigation process evolves.

Management and Quality Control

The "raw talent" is out there and ready to go. But who has the experience in applying the right management methodology for effective onshore/offshore work flow? Who will take responsibility for the quality of the work product?

An aggregator who works on a global basis can eliminate integration problems that could result from geographic distance, language nuances, training/education differences, and culture.
