Recession, LPO and Immigration Laws

Just to paint a simple picture of the economic efficiencies of an LPO, especially in times of economic turmoil, such as the one in hand presently, one's attention could be drawn to the mismatch of number of paralegals to attorneys in an establishment handling immigration law and work pertaining to it.

It is both, a good logic and a fact, that accomplishing process driven area(s) of work, such as the one aforestated, at lower costs, would be an ideal area for an LPO to meddle in, which certainly would be welcome by many a law firm involved in the aforementioned area of work.

The added leverage here being, an LPO's resource pool is not drawn from paralegals, but seasoned lawyers with well adorned law degrees and accolades willing to do the paralegal's work, only at a lower cost. More so, the outsourcer does not have to deal with mundane human resource problems.

A more detailed review of benefits of LPOs for firms handling immigration laws / related work are discussed in detail, in the article by Jan Krasny available at the following link:
