No, unless you want to define American law firms as inherently dinosaur-like, and incapable of changing to avoid extinction. No, the threat is not to law firms themselves, but to an outmoded model of law practice that clients increasingly will not tolerate. We are witnessing the start of a positive, paradigm shift in the way legal services will be delivered in the West.<br /><br />Several law firms are embracing the change, and reaping rewards from it. Those firms are receiving more assignments and more client revenue, not less. This is coming in part from (a) existing clients who send the firms “elective” legal work that otherwise would never be performed, due to cost, but which is not a problem when the U.S. lawyers are paid to supervise and edit the work of attorneys in India, and (b) new clients who come to these law firms only because of their reputation for developing an alternative to the old model.<br /><br />So there is no need to start making funeral arrangements for the U.S. legal industry. Forward-thinking law firms will adapt, embrace off-shore legal outsourcing, and learn how to make it serve not only the interests of their clients, but their own.<br /><br />Ashish Kumar<br /><a href="http://www.sddglobal.com" rel="nofollow">high-end legal outsourcing</a>Ashish Kumarhttp://www.sddglobal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-56358537661433895902009-06-16T11:56:43.639-04:002009-06-16T11:56:43.639-04:00if it makes you feel any better, we hate doing you...if it makes you feel any better, we hate doing your legal work.

Infact, they've not only received LLM degrees from US colleges but have also practiced in the States. Those with little knowledge of US law are trained extensively, taking reputed online courses, before they're placed on projects.<BR/><BR/>I agree with 6:21AM.
