Cost efficiency

Successful legal outsourcing relationships can yield substantial cost savings from labor arbitrage and more effective, highly structured internal processes. Additional value can be realized from cost predictability. For example, AmStar's bankruptcy support fees are based on hourly rates, but are capped at $495 for a Chapter 7 and $795 for a Chapter 13, so firms can maintain financial stability.

Focus on new opportunities

Firms that leverage LPO services often experience more time to focus on more important things than non-legal, administrative tasks and time-consuming research. For example, AmStar helps firms save up to 85% of their time on each bankruptcy file and up to 75% of their time on each foreclosure defense case. With additional time, AmStar clients have a competitive advantage: the ability to respond quickly to new opportunities.
