About Us
Legal Outsource Advisors, LLC represents only law firms, municipal law departments, corporations and other U.S. entities desiring to explore legal outsourcing. Presently there are over 120 legal outsource providers offering outsourcing of legal work to India. Some are not well established or funded. Most have expertise in completing particular legal assignments, but not all. Not being aligned with or limited to any one provider, Legal Outsource Advisors, LLC, through its affiliate network, will facilitate the optimum outsourcing opportunites for your law firm or company. Because of the rapid growth of the legal outsource industry, most of the legal process outsource providers have employed personnel with a business process outsource (BPO) background. None have seasoned U.S. attorneys actively guiding the legal outsourcing (LPO) venture on behalf of U.S. law firms and entities. This omission frequently leads to a lack of understanding of the needs of and/or coordination with the outsourcing law firm. The legal profession, while having attributes of business, is first and foremost a profession. Therefore, “standard” outsourcing practices utilized for non-professional businesses don’t always apply to legal outsourcing.
Martin L. Sandel, President and CEO of Legal Outsource Advisors, LLC, earned a reputation as a stellar trial lawyer in both plaintiffs’ and defendants’ cases over the last 30 years. As managing attorney of the prominent Ohio law firm of Bilfield and Sandel, Mr. Sandel tried and settled numerous high-profile and major damage cases.
Insurance companies also sought Mr. Sandel’s expertise, retaining him
to dispose of their largest exposure claims. He has been recognized as a
pioneer in the field of legal marketing, his law firm being one of the first
nationwide (in the 1980’s) to engage in mass marketing of legal services.
He has been an invited lecturer at attorney and physician association
meetings on the subject of medical
professional 
liability.
Mr. Sandel and his wife,
Karen, discovered India in
the course of charitable work
with their private charitable foundation, Last
Coconut Foundation. They have traveled
extensively to India to help establish orphanages,
day care centers and community colleges for the
benefit of underprivileged rural children of India.
In addition to his extensive trial experience, Mr. Sandel brings the
following skills and experience to your exploration of legal
outsourcing:
- Well-developed litigation/management skills
- Ability/experience in delegation of responsibility to qualified team members with appropriate monitoring
- Superior negotiation skills developed over many years in law practice
- Extensive legal background in all phases of litigation--- beneficial in qualitative evaluation and training/liaison capacities
