Abstract

Outsourcing is now a reality for the legal profession. Sarah Fahy from Allen & Overy LLP asks how we decide its relevance for know how. Key to deciding is an objective review of our current internal practices and an appreciation of the relationships and skills necessary for compiling successful know how. Establishing a productive partnership with an outsourcing company takes commitment and investment. Success is forged through a shared vision of success from an agreed starting point.
