Executive Summary - A new trend has hit the UK and USA legal markets, outsourcing. In India the lawyers are trained in a way that enables them to adapt to USA and UK law. Large firms are outsourcing the mundane work to an India outsourcing firm for a fraction of the price that they would have to pay a junior lawyer and para-legal. The outsourcing companies are mostly writing contracts, reviewing documents, do research like grinding through case law, studying government compliance issues, and litigation document review. Some 70% of litigation costs is associated with document review. A lawyer has to read all the documents the other side prepares. Remember this for the next paragraph. They also have to do research to write their own documents for admission into the case. This sort of work is now outsourced to India law firms specializing in this. They have USA or UK trained lawyers as managers to guide and direct the Indian lawyers. A lawyer at an Indian outsourcing firm might make $600 to $700 a month. A junior lawyer at a large prestigious law firm in the USA could conceivably make that much in a day and then you have to add in legal secretary, paralegal, taxes, benefits, office space etc. It is cost effective to use India. Getting the lawyers in USA very angry.

How Can You take Advantage of This – Well if you are in litigation in the USA or UK you will still need a local registered lawyer to do the filings and appearances. These Indian outsourcing firms will not represent you since they are not licensed in the USA or UK. They cannot take you as a client since that would be assisting an unlicensed person in the practice of law and they are prohibited from this. What you can do is hire a real cheap small local lawyer to interface with the Indian company and do the filings locally for you. Then you start to file massive amounts of documents, motions etc to flood the other side with legal expenses. They are paying $500 an hour not using India for some lawyer to read and analyze all the garbage you throw at them. Then it gets discussed with a senior partner who bills make $900 an hour. So forget the points and authorities of the case, let's just run up the legal bill on the other side. In better economic times the large companies would put up with any amount of legal bills to bust out the other side if they were not a large corporation. Today that is no longer the case. So your lawyer agrees to play ball and flood the other side with paperwork and drown them in legal expenses. Then start scheduling emergency arbitration which is very expensive and settle out favorably after the other side has a taste of your economic warfare. You too can abuse the legal system just like the large firms do. Imagine that.
