Why do professional services firms outsource to the Philippines?
Law firms, consultancies and research organizations outsource to the Philippines for college-educated, English-fluent staff who can take on detailed knowledge work at lower cost. Typical programs include document review, legal research, contract abstraction and paralegal support for law firms and corporate legal teams; billing, client onboarding and administrative support for business services companies; and market, desk and data research for research and advisory firms. Many Philippine staff hold law or business degrees, and the legal system shares roots with US common law. PITON-Global does not deliver these services. We vet providers on credentials, quality-review processes, confidentiality controls and security, and deliver a shortlist of 6–10 matched providers at no cost to you.
