Global Integrity Drops China From Corruption-Watch List – WSJ.com

China was one of three countries dropped from a corruption-watch list created by non-profit anti-corruption group Global Integrity, which released its annual report earlier this week.

The other countries removed from the watch list were Georgia and Serbia. The Washington, D.C.-based group warned that being dropped from the list doesn’t mean corruption stopped in the countries, but rather that they made progress by establishing minimum anti-corruption safeguards.

Outsourced Project Management & Consulting

With the recent turmoil in the financial markets, the legal industry has become very sensitive to cost and overall value for services, with questions like “what makes good business sense?” and “is there a more efficient solution?” being asked in conference rooms throughout the country.  Many organizations are running extremely lean and simply do not have the resources to support the hiring of experienced legal technology professionals to their staff.  Fortunately, there is an efficient solution that does not sacrifice quality – outsourced project management and consulting.

Global EDD Group provides consulting services to law firms, corporations and vendors in need of flexible expertise for a specific project or case.  Our consultants average over 15 years of proven experience in litigation support, data preservation, electronic discovery and document review that can be leveraged at a fraction of the cost associated with the hiring of a full time employee.

Big case?  Staff stretched to thin?  Tight deadline?  International project?  Contact Joseph Turner at Global EDD Group for a flexible solution to your immediate needs.


Microsoft Outsources Legal Work to India With CPA Global Deal

Microsoft Corp. has entered into an agreement with legal outsourcing provider CPA Global to offshore legal work to lawyers in India.

The technology giant began a pilot scheme with CPA in October and formally rolled it out at the end of 2009. A team of between three and five qualified lawyers at CPA are handling multi-jurisdictional legal support work, including legal research, for Microsoft. The lawyers are based in CPA’s offices in Gurgaon, near New Delhi.

Microsoft has been outsourcing basic intellectual property and patent renewal work to CPA for five years, using a team of around 70 CPA staff. However, the new arrangement for general legal work operates separately.

Microsoft’s associate general counsel and director of worldwide IP operations, Marty Shively, who is based in New Delhi, has played a key role in putting the outsourcing project together.

CPA chief financial officer for India, Anand Sharma, told Legal Week: “The arrangement principally involves legal research work with a flexible shared service team varying according to transactions handling matters for the company.”
