So, what does this say about the state of the LPO market?

According to a Chambers editorial authored by folks at highly ranked QuisLex, Inc., the LPO market is moving away from conventional outsourcing to legal process management companies. Services once centered on commoditized tasks performed in low-cost jurisdictions, have evolved into high-value services across core areas such as document review, related aspects of litigation support and contracts management and analysis. LPOs have also invested heavily in significant process and technological advancements that allow LPOs to provide valuable insights based on hard data analytics. As a result, LPO clients can “make better, more informed decisions that impact both legal and business strategy.”

Echoing this point, Daniel Reed, Chief Executive Officer at UnitedLex, stated in a company press release, “Being ranked by Chambers as a Tier One LPO is an acknowledgement of our vision on where the legal industry is heading and our proven ability to meet the demands of corporate legal departments and law firms looking to realize the efficiency and effectiveness of LPO’s.”

Based on comments from client referees, the work of LPOs, both large and small, is appreciated and valued. All indications are that the LPO industry will continue to thrive in the next year, as clients continue to develop long-term relationships with their providers. The future trend is to further integrate LPOs into the legal mix, making providers a valuable extension of legal departments and changing the way the world thinks about legal service delivery. No wonder Chambers ranks the LPO industry alongside leading law firms.
