Why Outsourcing?

---

Outsourced legal services are a growing trend as a result of the shift in how people work post COVID.  Outsourcing continues to grow among law firms who need to minimize their operating costs, increase flexibility, and focus more on their in-house competencies. 

There are several ways that US based outsourcing with Paramount can save time and increase profitability:

Cost Reduction: Outsourcing paralegal tasks helps reduce costs drastically. Organizations can optimize their cost structures by only paying for the paralegal work they need, with no overhead.  Firms will see incredible cost benefits which then allow them to invest more in their core business areas.  

Proficiency: Outsourcing legal services to external vendors like Paramount enables firms to reach out to specialized individuals and benefit from their niche expertise that is not available within the firm.  For example, firms benefit from access to an entire team of paralegals, all of whom excel at different tasks (some are best at preparing demand packages, others at drafting complaints, others at research and writing). Instead of one paralegal trying to complete varied tasks, members of a team can be laser focused based on their core competencies. 

Turnaround Time: Utilizing an external workforce can increase internal bandwidth to decrease turnaround time for pressing legal assignments. An amalgamation of in-house and outsourced teams can enable organizations to complete a project in a shorter span of time, and to complete a larger volume of work. 

Resilience: Using both in-house and external talent allows law firms to modify their proficiency in response to an assignment. Small and medium-sized firms are more likely to experience workflow challenges and may find it more problematic to spread inconsistencies over their workforce due to the lower count of attorneys, support staff and clients. Legal outsourcing services level the playing field for them with larger firms. Resilient staffing reduces overhead cost; outsourcing to external vendors allows law firms to diminish fixed costs in terms of salaries and benefits associated with an in-house permanent paralegal.
