A Word from the Editor-in-Chief
by Andrea Lee Negroni
Welcome to the launch issue of LPO Network, designed as a resource for the providers of LPO services and their clients. LPO Network is a monthly free electronic newsletter, and a service of Corporate Risk Advisors, LLC, a Washington DC-based consulting firm.
As a practicing attorney for 25 years, and Editor-in-Chief of LPO Network, I am keen to explore any new initiative in the legal profession, and the rise of legal process outsourcing is one of the most exciting developments of late. In talking with lawyers and other business professionals who have formed LPO companies, I sense a distinct enthusiasm for the possibility of changing the way legal services are rendered, with benefits to both attorneys and their clients.
We have gathered a truly distinguished Board of Editors who will contribute their insights and experiences to our publication, to pave the way for others to participate in this phenomenon. Continuing one of the most cherished traditions in the legal profession, that of professional courtesy, we will promote knowledge of the LPO industry even though we may occasionally be competitors, in the belief that knowledge building helps us all.
We expect to announce upcoming events of interest to the LPO industry, will feature an LPO monthly in our "LPO Profile" feature, and intend to launch a "Corporate Counsel Corner" to hear from those who have had LPO experience from the user perspective.
