Outsourcing

Our attorneys have created technology and business process outsourcing relationships valued in the billions of dollars. We are well positioned to assist you with a full-service, “wall-to-wall” outsourcing model or a selective outsourcing arrangement. Whether creating or renegotiating an outsourcing transaction, our skill and value lies in our ability to construct relationships designed to achieve your business objectives. We use our experience to help you identify and document those objectives, but we also recognize that the parties’ needs will evolve over time. We understand the inevitable conflict between a vendor’s desire to maximize profits and your desire to obtain the most cost-effective, efficient, and technologically advanced services.

By focusing on how legal terms and conditions interoperate with the other components of the transaction, including service levels, statements of work, pricing models, and data exhibits, we are able to identify the risks that are inherent in outsourcing transactions, and ensure that those risks are both mitigated and fairly allocated between the parties.
