PLI Publishes Start-to-Finish Guide to Successful Outsourcing

NEW YORK, March 8, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Outsourcing transactions are again on the rise as the global economy recovers from its prolonged recession.  Today's sourcing deals, however, have become even more complex and mission-critical and the law has grown deeper, broader and more burdensome.  The legal documents are essential to the success of an outsourcing arrangement, and lawyers can create or lose a great deal of value for their clients in advising on these deals.  

Accordingly, Practising Law Institute (PLI) has just published Outsourcing: A Practical Guide to Law and Business, the most complete resource for any lawyer working in this field needing to understand the latest ideas on how sourcing transactions should be structured, negotiated and governed.  This is without question the most extensive and engaging outsourcing treatise available for U.S. lawyers.

Written by Stuart D. Levi, an outsourcing specialist and co-head of the Intellectual Property and Technology Group at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, it is packed with sample key provisions and forms that will help you to efficiently define the scope of services, establish standards of care and governance, set liability caps, deal with intellectual property issues, and resolve disputes.

The single volume Outsourcing: A Practical Guide to Law and Business is $285 and is available for a 30-day free examination.
