Legal outsourcing
Legal outsourcing is the provision of legal support services to a company. The service of legal outsourcing can be divided by the nature of the service according to the criteria of time and completeness of the service.
According to the criterion of time, legal outsourcing is divided into outsourcing for the entire time as permanent maintenance of the service instead of a staff lawyer and outsourcing on demand, which can take different periods of time, even one call for legal advice during the month.
According to the criterion of completeness, legal outsourcing is divided into the conduct of individual legal issues, for example, the conduct of the entire spectrum or partially legal relations of the firm only with foreign suppliers or legal advice only on customs or tax legislation.
Legal outsourcing is also called legal subscription service or simply legal support for enterprises.
In what cases is legal outsourcing used?
Firstly, this is due to the undesirability of opening a lawyer position. This may be relevant for firms that only conduct seasonal or other periodic activities. The owner of each enterprise evaluates whether each additional employee will bring more benefit to the enterprise than his payment for his work.
On the contrary, often when forming the staff of an enterprise, the owner or director does not even consider the option of legal outsourcing. In most cases, this is due to the myth that third-party services will be more expensive. As a rule, this is what the founders of enterprises or their appointed directors think, simply by counting “by eye”. And serious businessmen calculate legal outsourcing to the penny: they calculate whether it is profitable in full or in part, in which matters it is profitable and in which it is not. And only then make their decision.
Secondly, as already mentioned above, with a desire to save on a staff lawyer position and often justifies itself. Legal outsourcing by a law firm is more stable, so it will not be affected by sick leave, possible dismissal, or long introduction to the case of a new lawyer. In addition, you will receive services from narrow specialists in certain areas of legislation - no lawyer can be universal no matter how much he is paid. And legislation changes almost every day. And this is a great advantage of legal outsourcing, and perhaps the biggest.
