Chemaly and Company - Beirut, Lebanon

Similar to the Business Process Outsourcing of some functions such as accounting, customer relations or human resources to a third-party, law firms and corporations are gradually obtaining legal support from another law firm or specialized company, often based in another country: US firms outsourcing to India-based companies for instance.

This is known as Legal Process Outsourcing - LPO. It can be practiced by:
- Law firms, allowing them to offer a wider range of service to clients and attract a broader client base;
- Corporations, exposing them to specialized firms.

Both law firms and corporations benefit from cost reduction that enables them to remain competitive.

At Chemaly and Company we offer the LPO service. We provide you with legal research and review your legal and corporate documents - from contracts and agreements, to policies, procedures, manuals, charters, study papers, amongst many others - and save you substantial costs had you been through the classic channels of this service. Additionally, we deliver this service with enhanced quality due to a two-level review system: specialized reviewers and supervisors.

This is a comprehensive program, covering the legal, regulatory, governance and organizational frameworks.

Key Learning Objectives:
- Learn what are the legal risks your company is faced with, and the means of protection
- Identify the main documents exposing you to legal risks
- Highlight the essential and sensitive clauses in each document you implement or sign

- Optimize performance through organizational structure
