AUCKLAND, New Zealand, November 9 /PRNewswire/ --
Latitude South NZ Ltd today launched its new legal outsourcing offering, designed for UK in-house legal teams and law firms to reduce the costs of substantive legal work by utilizing a team of New Zealand-based former lawyers with UK and international experience.
Latitude South will enable savings of up to 50% on substantive legal support services including professional support and know-how services, the design of standard form agreements, the drafting of bespoke documents, and peer review. Latitude South will also provide project management and legal process engineering services to help unbundle the substantive legal work appropriate for outsourcing.
"Many organizations have a high proportion of substantive legal services that can be outsourced if the provider has the right commercial experience and a professional compatibility with its clients," said Latitude South Director Larissa Glubb. "LPOs (legal process outsourcers) provide a valuable outsourcing option to clients with high volume paralegal work, but for many organizations substantive work constitutes a far greater proportion of external legal spend. We want to broaden the range of legal tasks that can be outsourced by providing the services of seasoned legal professionals who have practiced in leading UK law firms and in-house teams."
Latitude South has secured a team of former lawyers with 9+ years PQE who will operate remotely from New Zealand, and will be supported by a team in Asia and an onshore presence in London. Latitude South actively recruited former lawyers who practiced overseas and have returned to New Zealand as parents. "The high calibre talent in this demographic is under-utilized because traditional legal work structures don't naturally accommodate them", said Glubb. "We've built a model that better realizes that talent for the benefit of our clients."
Latitude South is a co-sponsor of The Lawyer's inaugural conference on Legal Process Outsourcing and Offshoring, to be held in London on 17 November 2009.
The one day conference will include talks from legal experts, panel discussions relating to outsourcing strategies and case studies from companies already engaged in outsourcing ventures. The conference will be attended by law firms and in-house legal teams interested in learning more about legal outsourcing, the current state of the market and potential providers.
Larissa Glubb, Director of Latitude South, will be attending the conference on 17 November and will be in London for the remainder of that week.
