In the current course of the law, attorneys are seeing more and more pressure to provide quality work at a lower cost and to do so while facing demanding caseloads with reduced deadlines. Legal research, while important for consulting with the client on their case strategy and ultimately being successful, is a time-consuming process that takes attorneys away from billable work and working with their clients. This is where outsourcing legal research comes in and, virtual legal teams are emerging as game changers for U.S. law firms.
Why Legal Research is the Backbone of Good Lawyering
Each case — whether it is a commercial dispute, a criminal defense, or complex bankruptcy matter — requires an exhaustive review of statutes, case law, precedents, and administrative rules. However, the traditional approach to legal research has some complications:
- Time Intensive: Requires dozens (if not hundreds) of hours of concentration, sorting through various databases like Westlaw and LexisNexis.
- Expensive: Associates billing $200-500/hour are often performing work that could be done in a portion of the time, and ultimately for less cost.
- Inconsistent Quality: Less senior staff members don’t always know how to boil down case law or distinguish between subtle distinctions that might make all the difference in framing an argument.
The Shift Toward Virtual Research Teams
As a response to inefficiencies and to improve outcomes, many attorneys in the U.S. are also outsourcing legal research and law-changing tasks to specialized virtual teams. Companies such as GSB LPO Services are leading in this shifting world, providing specific research support that is accurate, timely, and cost-efficient.
