Leading Legal Services Outsourcing Provider Wins European Outsourcing Association Award
ST HELIER, Jersey, July 19, 2010 - CPA Global, the world's leading provider of legal services
outsourcing (LSO) and intellectual property (IP) management services, has
been presented with the Innovation in Outsourcing Award at the European
Outsourcing Association's inaugural 2010 Awards ceremony.
The Award recognises CPA Global's ground-breaking partnership
with international mining corporation Rio Tinto, which has helped the
Anglo-Australian company to reduce its annual legal spend by more than $14
million within the first year of the relationship by outsourcing legal work
such as contract review and transaction support to teams of CPA Global
lawyers in India and the USA.
Commenting on the Award, Martyn Hart, Board Member of The
European Outsourcing Association and Chairman of the UK's National
Outsourcing Association, said: "The legal services outsourcing industry has
grown considerably in recent years and the partnership between CPA Global and
Rio Tinto has played a key role in helping the legal sector to realise the
benefits outsourcing can bring. The judging panel for this year's European
Outsourcing Association Awards was particularly impressed with the new legal
model that CPA Global developed with Rio Tinto, and the smooth integration of
outsourcing into the mining corporation's approach to legal services."
CPA Global's Director of Legal Services Outsourcing, Leah
Cooper, said: "Our work with Rio Tinto is widely acknowledged to have put
legal services outsourcing on the map, and we are delighted that the European
Outsourcing Association has recognised the impact the partnership has had in
helping shape the future legal landscape. For corporate legal teams who've
seen the value and cost efficiencies that can be delivered through LSO, there
is no going back. Outsourcing is here to stay. It's a fast evolving sector
and CPA Global will continue to work with our clients to develop innovative
solutions to their legal services requirements, both on-shore and off-shore."
The success of CPA Global's work with Rio Tinto and other
clients as well as its ability to provide a true, multi-shore offering is
attracting a growing number of corporations to the firm's LSO business from a
wide range of industrial sectors, including telecommunications and
technology, pharmaceutical and healthcare, construction, consumer goods and
financial services.
