The Great Unbundling: Do Law Firms Need to Re-think Outsourcing Strategies?
Outsourcing is on the rise. According to Deloitte, there's an increasing shift to leverage outsourcing driven by learnings from COVID-19, which is to capture the value which outsourcing models bring: increasing efficiency, reducing costs, and driving greater business value.
