A recent report by Fronterion, an international company involved with the outsourcing of legal work, indicates that due to inflation abroad and weak job markets in the United States and the United Kingdom, contract attorneys charge less per hour than offshore vendors.
The report highlights some outsourcing predictions for 2012, including higher wages abroad, the use of automated coding with software systems, client requests for lower costs, and the continued use of outsourcing vendors for legal work.
