Outsourcing: Mindcrest not an Indian Law Firm, Just an Indian Company that hires Lawyers to Do Legal Work, in India

This is a great post from John Bringardner of Legal Blog Watch:

"If it were a law firm, MindCrest would be India's largest, with 459 lawyers. According to Canada's Financial Post, the company's founder (an Indian engineer) partnered with two Chicago-based lawyers to create the legal process outsourcer in 2001. India's LPO industry is booming, and the companies aren't restricted by the rules that limit the size of Indian law firms. These companies take on low-end, data-driven legal work like document review and patent searches, from clients in the U.S. and the U.K. -- including from firms like Clifford Chance and Howrey."

I had also mentioned MindCrest in my Sunday Highlights.
