Off-shoring of legal work, while easily overlooked, is an important development in the legal field. For one, it has allowed US lawyers to tap into the intellectual capital of lawyers all over the world. Just as important, it has and continues to help US attorneys save significantly on costs, often times resulting savings to clients.
Case in point: Prominent US based charity: We are currently handling an appeal in the DC Circuit for a US based charity which had its assets frozen. LegalEase recently started up an appellate division, and has teamed up with a brilliant appellate attorney in Detroit-Rubina Mustafa. Rubina brings with her over 10 years of state and federal appellate experience. The federal district court ruled against the charity and its attorney, based in the Detroit area, needed to appeal the ruling. This attorney, who is a top-notch trial attorney, did not have sufficient resources or funding to file an appeal. He turned to LegalEase's appellate services to handle the appeal, from filing the summary of the arguments to the actual appellate brief.
We have a team of attorneys working on this case, all managed by Rubina. We are billing the trial attorney less than $50/hour for this high level work--and this is only made possible because of legal off-shoring. Hope this makes you think twice before glossing over legal off-shoring. I would like to read your comments on this.

It only explains the recognition and growth that your organisation is experiencing and enjoy all that rightfully goes with your success. There is no looking back until you feel your presence globally. Somebody's loss is definitely another man's gain.
