Byline: Minnesota Lawyer Staff
Many small law firms have the capacity to perform outsourced legal work for corporate legal departments, but lack the connections.
A virtual Internet meeting place called Legal OnRamp is providing a mechanism for small-firm lawyers to meet in-house counsel who are looking for ways to cut their costs for farmed-out work.
Created by Cisco Systems, Inc., Legal OnRamp is dedicated to the principle that law firms and legal departments can produce less costly results by working together in a cooperative, information-sharing fashion.
Cisco's general counsel, Mark Chandler, made the argument for Legal OnRamp earlier this year during a widely distributed speech at Northwestern School of Law.
