Zenarruza & Zenarruza is pioneering a Legal Outsourcing Project to assist large US and London based Law firms manage costs during the Global recession. Recession With the US recession, in 2008 and 2009, many US law firms have downsized their staffs considerably, and some have closed. The Denver Post reported that major law firms have cut more than 10,000 jobs nationwide in recent months.[19] On February 12, 2009, Bloomberg reported that 700 jobs were cut that one day at law firms across the country.[20] Among the firms closed included Heller Ehrman, a San Francisco-based firm established in 1890.[21] And firms cutting positions included Baker & McKenzie cut 124 attorney and staff positions.[22]DLA Piper cut 121 attorneys and staff.[23] Hinshaw & Culbertson eliminated 28 attorneys and staff.[24] Law firm layoffs have become so common that American Lawyer produces an ongoing and growing “Layoff List” of the 112+ law firms nationwide that have cut jobs in the past year.[25] Many of theser firms turn to Legal outsourcing providers on a contract basis.

LPO services are a nascent but growing practice, with relatively consistent market growth since early emergence of LPO in 2000/01. LPO providers have established themselves in India, the Philippines, the US, Israel and Latin America. Like may LPO Providers, Zenarruza & Zenarruza offers services in the areas of document review, legal research and writing, drafting pleadings and briefs, and patent services outsourcing, as well as many other areas of Law. Unlike some LPO Provider, Legal Outsourcing work done in-house at Zenarruza and Zenarruza is completed by U.S. Educated and Licensed Lawyers living abroad on a contract basis. The lower costs of research, cost of living, and standard wages in realtion to Major US and European Cities makes quality legal services more affordable to large firms abroad.

According to a research conducted by Evalueserve, there were over 5,200 professionals in the LPO industry, as on April 2010, in India and the Philippines, contributing an annual revenue of USD 300 million, and this is expected to reach 18,000 professionals with an annual revenue of USD 960 million by December 2015. [1] As a growing Industry in Latin America, Buenos Aires offers an international hub for young Americand and Anlgo-orieinted lawyers and a substitute process for large firms to meet rising demands and falling profits. Other notable South American LPO providers include Veritas Legal Web, an entirely Web-Based opperation registered in Paraguay. Like Zenarruza & Zenarruza, Veritas Legal Web uses American and British Lawyers living abroad to cut the cost of professional legal work.
