You practice law. We do the rest.

Outsourced legal services entail high-volume, routine-oriented tasks. Some niche providers position themselves to handle high-level services, but the most traction remains in the back and middle-office legal support functions.

These functions include services that fall into five general categories:

• Document review, preparation and management services
• Contract review and management services
• Drafting services
• Legal support and research
• General support functions: including knowledge and data management, general research functions, and customized service solutions

A pivotal trend occurring in the legal outsourcing market is the integration of office functions into a bundled service offering. For example, AmStar offers two key bundled service packages: Bankruptcy Support and Foreclosure Defense.
