UK Law Society Gazette In-House Counsel Offshoring Survey

Apologies once again to my readership. For the second time in a couple of weeks I've missed reporting on important legal outsourcing features carried by the UK's leading legal publication, the Law Society Gazette. Back in November the Gazette ran a comprehensive LPO piece "Offshoring legal work: Do Lawyers risk outsourcing themselves?". They followed this up on December 11 when they posted the results of an in-house counsel survey on the subject of outsourcing and cost cutting.

Althought the survey sample size is undoubtedly small, the results do make for interesting reading. The survey asked questions such as, whether the economic downturn was pushing in-house counsel into outsourcing, and what other ways they were exploring in order to cut legal costs?
