As noted recently in the ABA Journal, many large firms are delaying hiring new associates, and some are putting their summer apprenticeship programs on hiatus altogether.
Obviously, though, a decreasing number of entry-level associate positions doesn't necessarily mean there is less associate-level work to be done.
That's why one of the major challenges facing firms today is reshaping business practices to accomplish associate-level work without charging clients senior-level rates.
One of the solutions many firms are turning to is the flexible use of off-site associates for legal research.
An example of this trend is LegalEase's own Research Pathfinder, a program that offers thoroughly researched breakdowns of all relevant case law, statutes and any other opinion, law review, and any secondary research related to a specific legal issue.
All within 24 hours and all for a $250 flat fee.
LegalEase's Research Pathfinder applies two levels of quality checks by U.S. attorneys to our network of global attorneys to provide the 24-hour turnaround.

Although, i have lost touch with the LPO world,i think i can encourage myself to suggest that you add the term "Preventive Litigation" to your Legal Research Pathfinder, giving an additional dimension to your nature of work.
I think you will understand what i mean by my earlier comment by reading this webpage at
