Outsourcing

We understand your sector. It's at the core of what we do. Let us help make your outsourcing project a success.

From the early stages of the process right up to completion, our specialist outsourcing lawyers will keep your project on track and guide you every step of the way. They've done it before and know how to get your deal successfully over the line.

We handle everything from claims handling and administration agreements through to the most complex technology outsourcings for some of the biggest names in the sector.

Much of our work is international, using our own London, Hong Kong and Singapore offices, and calling upon our international best friend network of law firms to provide further local expertise where necessary. This helps us ensure we find the best lawyer for the job – whether RPC or a partner firm – keeping cost down and providing high quality advice and service.
