Increasingly, in-house lawyers are called upon to review BPM transactions that have far-reaching implications for the enterprise. In-house lawyers should consider hiring external specialists.
Where the BPM transactions involve the laws of multiple countries, foreign lawyers should be consulted as well. The external legal specialist can act as a coordinator of foreign counsel where the in-house lawyer lacks the time or experience to conduct this role effectively.
If you are considering hiring a BPM lawyer to understand the local or international legal implications of proposed transactions, please feel free to contact us.
Lawyers – USA
Lawyers knowledgeable about the outsourcing process can provide invaluable assistance in all phases of supply chain management and business process management.
In the United States, most larger law firms identify outsourcing as an area of practice. Few boutique law firms exist that focus on outsourcing as a specialty.
When hiring a sourcing lawyer, a party to an outsourcing transaction should understand that person’s experience and attitude towards the process.

Lawyers – Non-USA
Non-USA lawyers confront very different legal frameworks that channel the outsourcing process along particular legal mandates. Some lawyers are sophisticated in the laws of multiple jurisdictions or understand the right questions to ask. Other lawyers are useful for solely local advice.
Foreign lawyers offering to support American lawyers may do so within narrow frameworks.
