Following the highly successful NYC event in May, ALM are hosting a West Coast version of their Legal Industry Outsourcing Forum on October 4th at the Marines Memorial Club, San Francisco, CA. For further information on the conference and how to register, click here.

The conference is aimed at in-house and outside counsel, law firm executives, general counsel, and chief operating officers of corporate legal departments and aims to provide insight into the multi-dimensional practices of outsourcing legal work and support services.

I’m delighted to announce that LawScribe will be there, with a panel discussion focused on:

India and Legal Outsourcing: 2007 and Beyond.

• Overview of the Indian Legal Outsourcing Marketplace in 2007
• Legal Process Outsourcing Industry Regulation and Accreditation
• Liberalization of the Indian Legal Sector and the Impact on Offshore Legal Outsourcing

On the LawScribe panel I’m pleased to welcome, S. Elizabeth Foster, Esq a Partner in the San Diego office of Luce, Forward, Hamilton and Scripps LLP. Luce Forward is a full service law firm with over 200 attorneys. Formerly with Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, Ms. Foster specializes in international business, including start-ups, mergers and acquisitions, private equity, joint ventures and initial public offerings. She first traveled to India some 25 years ago, and has been returning regularly ever since.

On a recent trip Ms Foster penned the following article entitled “Expanding India” for her International Law Focus Column that I am sure readers of my blog would find of interest:
