Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) is the industry where in-house legal departments or organizations outsource legal work from areas where it is costly to perform, like the U.S. or Europe to places where it can be done at a significantly lower cost, primarily India.

The market of LPOs is booming. The global market for legal services stands at $250 billion. The global LPO market is likely to grow to between $200-250 billion by 2010.

In India, the value of the LPO industry is estimated at $145 million per year. This industry is likely to generate over 80,000 jobs in the next eight years. By 2010, India is likely to achieve a significant growth by doubling its share to 6-7% in the $250-billion global LPO market.

The legal profession is witnessing a major shift with legal professionals focusing on legal outsourcing as an alternate career as compared to the traditional way of practicing law. Presently, there are just 700 Indian lawyers who are working in the various LPOs throughout the country. The value of legal outsourcing to India is expected to reach $4 billion by 2015.

Also, a young legal professional may find a career with an LPO attractive as it is a sunrise industry which will experience a boom in the next 3-5 years. It serves as a learning opportunity for people who are considering legal and paralegal careers in the U.K. or the U.S.

Legal professionals who have got exposure to all kinds of laws and legal environment in foreign countries, possess technical skills and have exposure to corporate work culture are a big asset in the LPO industry. There are several high-end opportunities that exist for graduates of top law schools.
