The legal profession is not all courtroom arguments and sensational trials. It consists of the background work that keeps a case moving forward – drafting motions, reviewing contracts, preparing discovery, tracking down the right filings, and locating pertinent case law. We all know these are not glamorous jobs, but they are necessary. The problem is that they take enormous amounts of time, which puts a strain on law firms and in-house teams. Once we have buried attorneys in paperwork with no support, we are wasting hours that should go towards strategy, negotiating, or communicating with clients.
Outsourcing paralegal services creates an opportunity for attorneys to transfer time-consuming tasks. Outsourcing does not mean lawyers cut corners; it means lawyers work smarter. When attorneys outsource legal work to professionals with skills and experience in drafting, research, and admin support, they have confidence that their work will be done accurately, consistently, and on time. This enables attorneys to spend time on the higher-level advocacy where their energy needs to be, leaving them communicating and/or negotiating on behalf of the client without worrying about the underlying process to build a successful case. In the current fast-paced landscape, that transition can become essential in maintaining a competitive practice.
At GSB LPO Services, we see ourselves as an extension of your team, not a substitute. Our professional paralegal services do the heavy lifting of legal support work with the same care and discipline as an in-house worker would. We do everything reliably and with attention to detail – reviewing complex documents, providing case file preparation, etc. This gives law firms the room to breathe as they can focus on what creates value – building strategies, serving clients, and winning cases.
- Cost Savings Without Cutting Corners: Let’s start with the most obvious and immediate benefit: cost. A paralegal working full-time in the United States costs between $60,000 and $80,000 per year, and that does not include benefits, insurance, office space, training, and technology. For small law firms or solo practitioners, that amount is frequently too much. Even the case volume accounts of mid-sized firms make the question of what would be a waste of money a struggle, when spending money could have a huge variance.
With GSB’s more affordable paralegal help, you are only paying for the work. That means idle time, less overhead, and no long-term commitment. Studies estimate that law firms that outsource paralegal work can save up to 75% versus hiring someone in the office, leaving that money to allocate toward business development, technology, or trial prep.
But perhaps the more important point: cost does not equate to quality. GSB invests time and resources into training its people to understand the US legal standards, formatting requirements, and compliance requirements. When you are receiving work from GSB’s remote paralegal, it does not feel outsourced. It feels like it is occurring in your office – just without the overhead.
- Streamlined Workflows and Automation That Boost Accuracy: Cost is one factor; reliability is the other. A missed deadline, misnumbered exhibit, or overlooked authority can harm a case. As a result, GSB concentrates on legal workflow automation and structured quality assurance.
If you outsource work to GSB, here’s how it’s done: First, we will meet (virtually) to collect information about the case from you, confirm the scope and due dates. Next, we analyse the work to be done, based on your instructions. Is it a discovery response for a personal injury matter? A Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition? Gathering of medico-legal information for a workers’ compensation case? From there, we assign the work to a paralegal with the appropriate subject matter experience. After the work is performed, it’s checked by a second paralegal and then given an additional quality review before being turned over to you.
The results are twofold: First, paralegal work is not only done on time, but is done the right way the first time. Secondly, it removes the ping-pong of back-and-forth corrections that sap attorney billable hours.
A workers’ compensation attorney in Illinois, for instance, asked GSB to index his client’s entire claim file and create a medical record chronology. By simply uploading hundreds of pages of records, he received a well-organized, hyperlinked claim file with a crystal-clear chronology of the underlying claim. This type of organized file doesn’t just help with case preparation; it gives the attorney at hand access to all the important details at negotiations or hearings. He’s no longer distracted by missing documents or information.
- Specialized Support for Complex Matters: Legal work doesn’t happen just in the courtroom and law offices. Hidden behind every successful case are mountains of research, documentation, and process management that can quickly eat into attorneys’ time. That is where GSB LPO Services can help. We aren’t interested in replacing your existing staff. We’re here to provide a reliable partner to take some of the heavy lifting out of the routine but critical work. Filing the appropriate documents on time and analysing hefty material are key to moving a case along, so the right support can make all the difference in the world.
GSB has experience working in fields with workers’ compensation claims, personal injury lawsuits, and bankruptcy cases. Some skills go beyond simple clerical tasks and accuracy. Each of these areas requires organization, review of medical and financial records, and detailed drafting and documentation that can be legally sound and provide the backing for your claims. So, why waste your attorney’s time with tasks that can be delegated and should be outsourced? GSB LPO Services has the trained staff, scalable processes, and compliance standards in place to take your process work off your plate and get it done right the first time.
We know you are in the business of providing the best legal counsel to your clients and practicing in court, so we can help. Shift your process work and create the time that can be better spent in ways that better justify the rate you charge.
- Scalability and Flexibility That Match Your Caseload: Here’s a fact every lawyer knows: caseloads are uncertain. In one month, you’re bombarded with personal injury demand letters, then in the next, you are overwhelmed with bankruptcy filings. One of the hardest parts of legal practice as a managing lawyer is ratcheting up and down staff for the peaks and valleys of caseloads. If you hire too many paralegals, you are overstaffed when things slow down; if you hire too few paralegals, you are stressed out when your caseload spikes.
This is where paralegal outsourcing shines. When you use GSB’s remote paralegal services, you can rapidly scale your support up or down depending on your real-time workload. There are no long-term contracts, no recruitment cycles, and no termination issues; you get what you need when you need it.
These statistics are supported by the larger trend. The global legal process outsourcing market was worth roughly USD 17.45 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to almost USD 118 billion by 2030, with a compounded annual growth rate of over 31%. India (where GSB is located) is leading this change, with the LPO market anticipated to grow at over 33% annually. The message is clear: law firms everywhere are adopting this model, not to serve as a stopgap, but as a permanent solution to a more efficient and profitable system.
A Chicago firm focusing on workers’ compensation claims saw the impact directly. When a sudden increase in their cases happened, they outsourced their medico-legal documentation and claim file indexing to GSB; they did not have their attorneys burning the midnight candle preparing the documents, and turnaround was improved by 30%. When the spike passed, they reduced support, which is not possible when hiring in-house fixed staff. The flexibility protected their margins without losing service to their client base.
- Security, Confidentiality, and Round-the-Clock Support: For lawyers, outsourcing isn’t solely about effort or cost-savings. The more important question is: Do you trust a third party to handle your clients’ most confidential information? The answer is yes, with GSB. GSB implements stringent data security policies like non-disclosure agreements, secure file transfers, and confidentiality protocols at every level of the workflow. These measures are necessary because lawyers in the legal field wear a badge of trust. Lawyers need to operate in the legal landscape to serve clients, but they need to ensure attorney-client privilege and confidentiality when utilizing high-volume services. The GSB infrastructure is specifically and purposely designed to protect clients’ privacy while providing a better and more efficient service.
Combine that with the time zone advantages that come with ICS’s location in India, and you can send documents to them to work on while you are asleep. Imagine this: you assign an outsourced legal document preparation task at the end of the work day, and the resulting complete scanned document is waiting in your inbox when you start the next day. The 24-hour availability has extraordinary benefits for firms that are dealing with short timelines and filing deadlines, as they deal with clients’ increasingly tight court deadlines or emergency filings.
A great example comes from a bankruptcy attorney in Texas. He needed to file a Chapter 13 petition with the Court on a tight deadline. To get the task completed, our bankruptcy expert completed the preparation late in the evening. By the morning, the completed documents were in the attorney’s inbox, prepared for review and filing. The attorney, who could have been working overnight, was instead well-prepared, confident, ahead of schedule, and had everything he needed to file the Chapter 13 petition in time.
