The outsourcing craze isn’t limited to information technology projects.  Companies are experimenting with legal outsourcing as a way to manage costs.  Rob Hyndman has an interesting post on the topic, and CNNMoney has also provided statistics indicating that 12,000 legal jobs were outsourced last year, according to a study by Forrester Research.  The study projects that the job losses will increase to 79,000 by 2015, with just over half being attorney positions.  Email InhouseBlog if your company outsources legal services - and stay tuned for news on the latest trends.
