legal process outsourcing

Legal process outsourcing (LPO) involves a law firm or legal department outsourcing routine legal tasks—such as document review, research, drafting, and administrative work—to external vendors, often located in different countries. This allows organizations to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and focus on more complex legal matters. The external providers are typically staffed with trained legal professionals who handle these functions under the supervision of the hiring organization. LPO is a way to manage legal workloads more effectively while maintaining quality and compliance.
