Last updated: July 22, 2026
Why Law Firms Choose Kore BPO for LPO
Our offshore legal support team works inside your case management system and document workflow as a supervised extension of your practice, not a black box you send files to and hope for the best. The legal process outsourcing market is projected to reach $75.42 billion by 2030 at a 27.8% CAGR, according to National Law Review's 2026 market analysis, driven largely by firms looking to control routine review costs without adding headcount.
Supervised, Not Autonomous
Every deliverable is produced under the direction of your licensed attorneys. Kore BPO's legal support staff do not provide legal advice or make legal judgments. They execute the research, review, and drafting work you assign, exactly the way a paralegal or associate would.
Confidentiality Built Into the Model
Every analyst signs an NDA before touching a single file. Access is scoped to the matter they're working, and we align with your firm's existing data handling and privilege protocols rather than asking you to change how you work.
Volume Capacity Without the Overhead
Contract backlogs and discovery volume don't wait for hiring cycles. We staff up or down as caseload shifts, so you're never carrying a full-time salary for a workload that spikes twice a year.
60–70% Below In-House Cost
Replace overflow associate hours and routine paralegal work with dedicated offshore legal support at a fraction of the fully-loaded cost of a US hire, without slowing down your matter timelines.
Our Legal Process Outsourcing Services
Six core LPO functions staffed by trained offshore legal professionals who work inside your systems, follow your review standards, and report to your supervising attorney at every stage.
Contract Review & Abstraction
First-pass review, redlining, and key-term abstraction across NDAs, MSAs, leases, and vendor agreements, so your attorneys spend their hours on negotiation, not line-by-line reading.
Legal Research & Case Support
Case law research, memo drafting, and precedent summaries built to your citation and formatting standards, delivered on the timeline your matter actually needs.
Compliance & Regulatory Support
Ongoing compliance documentation, policy tracking, and regulatory filing support for teams managing recurring reporting obligations across multiple jurisdictions.
Litigation & Discovery Support
Document review and coding, deposition summaries, exhibit organization, and trial preparation logistics for teams facing high-volume discovery windows.
IP & Patent Administrative Support
Docketing, prior-art search assistance, filing deadline tracking, and application data entry for patent and trademark portfolios, coordinated with your registered practitioner.
Document Drafting & Transcription
First-draft correspondence, standard agreements, and legal transcription work built from your firm's templates and reviewed against your house style before it reaches an attorney.
Who LPO Works For, and Who It Doesn't
LPO is a support layer under your attorneys, not a replacement for legal judgment. Here's how to tell if it fits your caseload.
Good Fit
- Law firms with 20+ contracts or documents moving through review each month
- In-house legal teams buried in routine review that pulls them off higher-value work
- Companies running due diligence packages with tight deal timelines
- Practices with seasonal or matter-driven volume spikes that don't justify a full-time hire
Not a Fit
- Solo practices signing fewer than a handful of agreements a month, the coordination overhead outweighs the savings
- Anyone looking for courtroom representation or independent legal opinions, LPO providers don't practice law
- Firms wanting a law firm replacement rather than a supervised support layer underneath one

Legal Process Outsourcing FAQs
Everything you need to know before adding offshore legal support to your practice.
What is legal process outsourcing (LPO)?
Legal process outsourcing is hiring trained offshore legal professionals to handle contract review, legal research, document review, and compliance support under a law firm or legal team's direct supervision. It's routine, structured legal support work moved offshore, not legal advice or representation.
Does legal process outsourcing violate unauthorized practice of law (UPL) rules?
No, when it's structured correctly. Kore BPO's legal support staff perform research, review, and drafting tasks under your licensed attorneys' direction and do not give legal advice, sign filings, or make legal judgments on a client's behalf. Every deliverable is reviewed and approved by your supervising attorney before it goes anywhere near a client or a court. Firms should always confirm the arrangement against their own state bar guidance.
What tasks can Kore BPO's offshore legal support team handle?
Contract review and abstraction, legal research and memo drafting, compliance documentation, litigation and discovery support, IP administrative support, and document drafting or transcription. All work is scoped against your review standards and reports back through your supervising attorney.
How much does legal process outsourcing cost?
Kore BPO's offshore legal support professionals cost 60–70% less than an equivalent US in-house hire once you factor in salary, benefits, payroll taxes, and recruiting fees. That tracks with broader industry data. Altiam CX's 2026 outsourcing guide puts paralegal process outsourcing savings at 40–60% versus a full-time in-house hire. There are no upfront placement fees, and you pay only when you hire. Use our free ROI Calculator to model your exact savings.
How do you protect client confidentiality and privilege?
Every Kore BPO legal support analyst signs an NDA before beginning any engagement, and file access is scoped to the specific matter they're assigned. We align with your firm's existing document management, VPN, and access-control protocols rather than asking you to route around them.
How quickly can I get an offshore legal support analyst?
After a strategy call, Kore BPO delivers pre-screened candidate resumes within 2–5 business days. Once you select a candidate and complete onboarding, your offshore legal support analyst is typically active on your matters within 1–2 weeks.
