A&O signs outsourcing deal with LPO provider Integreon News The Lawyer
This is a very brief, but nevertheless interesting, article because it discusses a UK firm teaming up with a Legal Process Outsourcing firm with offices in New York and Mumbai in an effort to produce significant cost savings (the article estimates 30-50 percent). Obviously, most of the LPO work will be done in Mumbai and not in New York to achieve that level of savings. LPO is here to stay it seems, and it introduces a new type of mobility into the practice of law.

Two Linklaters partners defect to Indian best friend Talwar Thakore News The Lawyer
As signs of life start coming back into the economy, we are starting to see select firms bulking up again. We are also starting to see more mobility coming back. This article is interesting because it shows these emerging trends again, but it also shows the problems with India and how foreign firms address that market. Ultimately, India is going to have to open its doors to foreign law firms that want to establish there. Until that happens India's legal profession will not flourish as it should.

Sweden's Vinge calls time on London presence News The Lawyer
This is an interesting development, which bears further watching. A number of firms have recently enhanced their presence in London, which has generated a reasonable amount of press comment. Either these firms know something Vinge does not or vice versa. Alternatively, times could be tougher for Vinge than is generally thought. Time will tell.
