Offshoring and Nearshoring 
Should I offshore or nearshore?
In an ever changing global market, offshoring is one way businesses can balance the need to reduce internal overheads and support functions while still delivering better customer communications and improving or standardising business processes.
As the recent trend in returning call centres to the UK shows, however, offshoring services may not all be plain sailing. Language, local knowledge, skills and training are fundamental aspects which need careful consideration in any arrangement. It may be that something a little closer to home (i.e. nearshoring) will provide a better solution.
Our lawyers can combine specialist knowledge with commercial understanding to help you identify any risks or pitfalls as well as advise on the best way to mitigate such risks and maximise the resultant benefits.
Getting it right
We have an extensive network of advisers who can help you navigate through all aspects of your arrangement – from strategic planning, risk management and project facilitation to compliance with local laws.
Just as partnership and trust is central to any outsourcing relationship, we know our job doesn't stop when the contract is signed. We aim to build lasting relationships with all our clients, to act as a legal port of call and to facilitate smooth sailing in their ongoing outsourcing arrangements.
