New York, NY (Vocus/PRWEB ) June 11, 2009 -- In the current economic climate, in-house legal departments searching for new cost-saving strategies are turning to Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) to increase efficiency and save on litigation expenses - but many are seeking advice regarding how to best implement and manage these new partnerships. Now, Paul Mandell, president of leading global legal solutions company Clutch Group, is sharing his own knowledge on the topic through in-depth seminars at conferences around the country.

"The recessionary economy is certainly accelerating the shift in focus toward global delivery of certain types of legal support work," said Mandell. "Legal departments throughout the U.S. and Europe are under pressure to outsource components of or entire projects. However, most managers and practitioners need more information and direction on how to reap the benefits of outsourcing while avoiding the common pitfalls."

The seminar, entitled India Calling...Are You Prepared to Answer? Litigation 2.0, the Emerging Shift in the Legal Market, focuses on a case study in which a Fortune 500 company utilizes LPO services spread across the globe to reduce costs while preserving quality. Through this model, Mandell explores the costs and benefits of legal outsourcing, the ethical and privacy concerns of going offshore, the keys to successful LPO project management in the eDiscovery field, and general best practices in the litigation 2.0 global marketplace.

The seminar was recently presented as part of a 3-day long senior-level IQPC legal forum - the Corporate Litigation Exchange (www.corplitigationexchange.com) in Lansdowne, Virginia on May 17. In recent months, Mandell also hosted the Calling India… seminar at IQPC Exchange's Corporate Counsel Exchange in Marco Island, Florida and Clutch Group held a panel discussion on the topic at LegalTech 2009 in New York. Attendees of these legal conferences may have received CLE credit for their participation.

"Our research in the area clearly suggests that corporations are looking for new solutions in this area - litigation costs soar during economic downturns, and this year's Corporate Litigation Exchange explored new and dynamic strategies designed to help corporations overcome this challenge," said Kerry Prince, Managing Director at IQPC Exchange. "Paul Mandell's balanced examination of the quickly-growing LPO industry is a perfect example of the cutting-edge solutions covered by this invitation-only event."
