Top Legal Outsourcing (ITO) Advisors and Consultants, Black Book
Survey 2007 Results
Description: Outsourcing lawyers negotiate the full range of strategic sourcing transactions, helping clients
shorten the sourcing cycle, speed the realization of benefits, and design lasting solutions that
effectively support their strategic and operational objectives.
68 Law Firms with dedicated Outsourcing Advisory Practices qualified with a minimum of qualified
and validated client ballots. 146 Law Firms were included by client ballots in the 2007 survey
process.
The most important issue reported by over 92% of all current outsourcing client respondents this
year is for prospective buyers to have a strategic global sourcing strategy before embarking on a
vendor search including legal advice. An organization's outsourcing design should consider its own
business strategy, how its competition is approaching outsourcing and what capabilities are or will
be available from global service providers over the next one to three years. Current industry users
also agree (94.8%) that most new buyer organizations do not have the internal staff, capabilities,
research and insight to perform this in a timely or effective fashion as yet, in particular, legal
counsel and advice.
Sourcing legal advisory firms are a new breed of industry consultants and lawyers worldwide that
advise customers on selecting outsourcing service providers and helping set and execute sourcing
plans. Sourcing legal advisory firms negotiate outsourcing contracts ranging in value from millions
to several billion dollars on behalf of their customers, and do so with the experience of knowing
how much to pay and what is required to effectively match unique initiatives.
There have been several developments in the evolution of outsourcing and offshoring that almost
require external legal assistance to navigate. For instance, most US companies have outsourced
some portion of their business to lower costs and, over time, have achieved cost savings in the
outsourced portion of the business.
However, unless your efforts in outsourcing to lower costs are unusually superior to your
competitors, you are not gaining much of sustainable strategic or economic advantage, since your
competitors are outsourcing just like you are. It was customary in the earlier stages of outsourcing
and offshoring that advisors were used to assess readiness, write RFPs, select vendors, manage
implementations and transitions and provide pricing insight. Leading companies are now using
global resources to drive new forms of revenue and grow their top line. Companies are realizing
new forms of business value through their global sourcing partnerships by accelerating new product
development, shortening time-to-market and finding successful entrées into new markets.
Companies that are realizing these benefits from their global sourcing strategies are also creating
new forms of value for their customers and sustainable competitive advantages. Still, most aren’t
prepared internally to make these decisions alone and those that do report regretting that choice.
The Black Book of Outsourcing research service titled TOP LEGAL OUTSOURCING ADVISORS 2007

Key Benefits: All US and UK businesses (MNCs with over $5B in revenue and over 15K employees -
to small businesses of under $500K in revenue and 5 employees) are employing outsourcing to

implementation and governance. Determine how your current legal advisor is performing in other
client engagements, and inspect the performance pre-RFP, contracting, and/ or pre-contract
renegotiation.
