The London Evening Standard reports on the ripple effect from the Rio Tinto decision to outsource legal work last May.
The Evening Standard spoke with Soumitro Chatterjee, head of outsourcing for India's largest law firm, FoxMandal Little, who believes that "more than 3,000 corporate lawyers and administration staff in cities such as Mumbai and Delhi [will be] going on the pay roll of City firms and British companies by the start of next year. Mr Chatterjee said he had met representatives from 10 City firms in recent weeks - each looking to outsource up to 100 legal jobs." In other words, up to another 1,000 legal jobs are set to move from London to India this year.
Major UK firms such as, Allen & Overy, Clifford Chance, Eversheds, Lovells, as well as Simmons and Simmons have already been sending work to India and South Africa.
