SDD Global Solutions is India's leading high-end, state-of-the-art, legal services off-shoring company, headquartered in Mysore, India. It is managed by an American law firm, SmithDehn LLP. It is the only Indian legal outsourcing providers managed by a U.S. law firm. Over the years, SDD Global has provided high-quality services to attorneys, law firms, corporate clients, and individual clients in all states and major cities in the United States including Kansas City, Missouri. Our services include legal research, analysis and drafting; contract drafting and management; intellectual property services, such as trademark and title search, trademark and copyright registration and other patent services; filing applications for U.S. and U.K. immigration visas, immigration visa processing and related immigration services; and a host of other high-end functions.

In the past, regarding Missouri, we have done legal research on various state and federal claims. We were also hired by an entertainment company to provide opinions on enforceability of consent agreements and "door closing statutes," in all the 50 states in United States including Missouri. We researched possible claims and legal risks involved in shooting a controversial scene of a film at a local hotel in Kansas City, Missouri.

Our team is capable of providing a wide range of high-quality, knowledge-based services, such as legal research and the drafting of complaints, answers/objections, motions, legal briefs and memorandum, discovery documents, appeals, and any other litigation papers, as well as filing applications for U.S. and U.K. Immigration visas, handling intellectual property related matters, trademark search, title search, securities laws, mortgage deals and filing of copyright and patent application.

Clients across the United States, including those in Kansas City and elsewhere in Missouri, can greatly benefit by off-shoring legal services to SDD Global. We provide legal services with no compromise in quality and an effective hourly fee of as little as $30. The work performed in India by our SDD Global team is supervised and edited by our cost-efficient U.S. and U.K. licensed attorneys. Our extensively trained Indian attorneys are capable of handling any complex litigation task, except providing legal advice and representing clients in court. In cases where clients need legal advice, or representation in court, our parent law firm SmithDehn LLP or any other law firm could provide such services.

Infrastructure costs in India, particularly in Mysore, are 20 to 30 times less than in Missouri. The cost-per-square-foot of office space in Kansas City, Missouri ranges from $10 to $13, whereas in Mysore it is less than half a dollar.

Another significant advantage of outsourcing legal services to SDD Global is speed. By outsourcing services to India, clients can expand their internal bandwidth to reduce turnaround time for pressing legal projects. The time difference between the U.S. and India permits round the clock legal support to law firms and corporate legal departments.

On August 5, 2008, the American Bar Association (ABA) Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility rendered its opinion on outsourcing, which allows outsourcing and acknowledges the professional and economic benefits of outsourcing. The advisory describes legal outsourcing trend as "a salutary one for our globalized economy." The committee hailed outsourcing as a way to reduce client costs and further mentioned that outsourcing enables smaller firms to take on the kinds of larger, discovery-intensive cases that they otherwise might not be able to handle. The ABA opinion 08-451 states, "Outsourcing affords lawyers the ability to reduce their costs and often the cost to the client to the extent that the individuals or entities providing the outsourced services can do so at lower rates than the lawyer's own staff." The opinion further confirmed that outsourcing enables firms "to represent a client.effectively and efficiently."
