Telecom giant BT to outsource some legal work to UnitedLex in India
SOURCE: Legally India
DATE: March 30th, 2010
UnitedLex, a Legal Processing Outsourcing (LPO) firm has won a contract with telecom major BT to take part of the inhouse legal work and deliver that from India. The team will start with 15 people mostly based out of India to deliver the work.
The other firms competing for the job were Infosys and CPA Global. United Lex which started 4 years back has 550 lawyers globally out of which 425 are based in India, rest divided between US and Israel.
“The first generation of LPOs was all about redlining documents and very low-end types of legal work,” he said. “Law firms are doing much higher end legal work, very judgement based legal work. But they don’t use technology like we use it: we stay very much in the mid-complexity sort of zone.”
