Take part in our survey of what in-house lawyers are thinking, and doing, about outsourcing work offshore.

To follow this week's feature on outsourcing and offshoring legal work (see Features section), the Gazette needs your input to a survey on what businesses are doing in terms of outsourcing legal work.

In conjunction with legal services offshoring company NewGalexy Partners, we are conducting a survey exploring the incidence of legal offshoring, and whether it might be taking work away from private practice law firms. This is a subject much discussed in legal circles, but which – to date – has lacked hard evidence to back up the anecdotal.

If you are in an in-house legal position, please take part in the survey, which is hosted by the C & I Group website. The questionnaire is short – only 12 questions – and should take no more than three minutes. Even if you're NOT looking at more outsourcing/offshoring, we need to hear about that too.
