LPO (legal process outsourcing), LSO (legal service outsourcing), virtual law firms, legal start-up, legal professionAbstract
The problem of archival institutions is in lack of employees with knowledge and experiences in law. The budget financing is insufficient for employment of lawyers in archives. Therefore for important services law firms are being hired but so called smaller issues are being serviced by other employees. Stressing out different possibilities of organizing virtual law firms for low budget legal services as legal start-up’s, authors argue that outsourcing is an optimal solution both for institutions and for the lawyers.
