An India-Based Team – Adding Value to Clients with an Urgent Need to Reduce Legal Costs

Since our founding in the mid-1990s, InternationalCounsel has been a pioneer in providing sophisticated yet cost-effective international legal support modeled on the best in-house international teams, not on traditional full-service law firms

Our approach is a natural fit for the brand of cost efficiency that can be achieved through India-based legal process outsourcing support. Our years of know-how in extracting the best information for the lowest cost from hundreds of foreign lawyers, coupled with our particular experience in working with Indian lawyers on behalf of US and Indian clients, has put us in an ideal position to expand our capabilities through a team of lawyers who happen to be based in India.

A Marriage of “Law” + “Process”

Many projects can best be handled by junior lawyers and capable paralegals. Yet, the rates for such professionals in large U.S. and U.K. law firms are at levels that are difficult to justify for projects that may not require the highest levels of judgment and experience but nonetheless need the careful and focused attention of someone with a high level of legal training and skills.

With a pool of some 80,000 new lawyers each year trained in a common law tradition, India offers an impressive range of legal talent coupled with an information technology and “business process outsourcing” tradition that can take sophisticated tasks and skills, break them into manageable components and enable a more efficient method of handling such tasks. Sure, the hourly rates for such lawyers are enticingly low (in the range of US$30 to $50 per hour), but the cost efficiencies beyond the pure hourly rate component are even more impressive.

This means that contracts can be assembled and reviewed according to well-engineered processes and litigation documents can be analyzed through decision-tree approaches, with special-case issues escalated to supervisors and ultimately to experienced US lawyers on our team or yours.
