5 Signs You Should Invest in Legal Review Services
Deciding to outsource legal review services is not always an easy decision. Sometimes law firms and corporate legal departments make the mistake of thinking they will be able to handle every aspect of a case, transaction, or other legal matter, only to spend more time and money than they would have spent by retaining a third party to help.
Here are five instances when you should consider using an outsourced provider for legal review services:
- The legal matter involves documents written in a foreign language: It is critical to accurately understand the contents of documents involved in a legal matter. Because of the increasingly globalized nature of business, it is also increasingly common to have multinational or multi-jurisdictional matters where many of the documents are written in a language other than English. One key to handling these matters is to work with expert multilingual reviewers to ensure proper handling of foreign language documents
- Quick turnaround is necessary: One of the biggest benefits of choosing outsourced legal review services is the ability to have large amounts of information professionally reviewed in a short period of time. Outsourcing to a provider that has the ability to scale to your needs allows timelines to be met efficiently.
- Short-term staffing shortages: When attorneys/staff are out of the office or you must scale up to meet project demands, hiring outside legal review services eliminates the logistical issues and HR challenges of hiring in-house short-term staff.
- Longer-term resource considerations: Law firms often choose to invest in legal review services because they simply don’t have the capacity to handle document review or other tasks in-house.
- Budget constraints: Outsourcing allows you to use your budget efficiently. It is a cost-effective alternative to bringing on additional staff or contract attorneys. And it does not require you to expend additional resources training new employees or providing logistical resources, such as office space and computers, for new staff members.
