Texas is the second-largest U.S. state in both area and population. Texas has more Fortune 500 companies than any other U.S. state.¹ With a growing base of industry, Texas leads in many industries, including agriculture, petrochemicals, energy, computers and electronics, aerospace, and biomedical sciences. It leads the nation in export revenue since 2002, and has the second-highest gross state product.

After the American Bar Association Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility released its Opinion concluding that a lawyer in the United States can outsource or offshore legal work to a legal process outsourcing service provider ("LPO") without breaching his ethical obligations, more solo attorneys, law firms and corporations in Texas are recognizing the benefits of legal outsourcing and are now turning to SDD Global.


About Us.

In its short span of existence of less than five years, SDD Global has become synonymous with high-end legal outsourcing (also known as "legal process outsourcing" or "LPO"). SDD Global's principal office is located in Mysore, India, and its services include high-end legal research, analysis, drafting, and litigation support for Fortune 500 companies and other clients, as well as a full range of patent and U.S. immigration services. A distinct advantage enjoyed by SDD Global over its other competitors in the LPO industry is that SDD Global is the only legal services outsourcing provider in India supervised and managed by a U.S. law firm -- New York and London based SmithDehn LLP. This advantage ensures that the quality of SDD Global's work product is never compromised. As a direct result, those wanting legal services in Texas have two choices - either rely exclusively upon a local law firm that might bill $350 to $700 an hour, or make use of SDD Global, whose Indian attorneys have graduated at the top of their class, for $35 to $60 per hour, or better yet, on a flat, fee-for-service basis. SDD Global is often hired in tandem with local Texas attorneys, such that we help the Texas counsel lower the costs to the client. Indeed, several Texas attorneys in Houston and elsewhere have hired us directly for that purpose.

In a fiercely competitive LPO industry, SDD Global stands out as being among the very few service providers providing high-end legal services to solo attorneys, law firms and corporations throughout the United States, including Texas. We have been providing services to Texas clients every since our inception in 2006. One of our first legal off-shoring assignments was for a major Hollywood film studio which hired us to research and prepare a 50-state survey report on contract law and 19 other legal issues, in connection with a multi-million dollar budget movie it intended to produce. A team of 12 lawyers at SDD Global Solutions worked for 43 days and prepared a comprehensive 103-page memorandum addressing all the issues required by the client. SDD Global's efforts resulted in saving the client over $200,000 in legal fees. Much of the research and reporting was on Texas law, and we have been called upon repeatedly to research Texas law for other corporate clients.

More recently, we drafted a summary judgment motion for filing before a Texas state court in Houston. The motion was drafted on behalf of one of the largest insurance companies in the United States, on the issue of liability of a principal for acts of independent contractors. Thrilled with the quality of our work product, the attorney of record was effusive in her praise and wrote back saying: "I have reviewed the motion for summary judgment and supporting documents and believe that you did excellent work. I appreciate all of the research that you did and the excellent motion that you drafted." We performed similar work for a law firm and media client in connection with a motion for a protective order in a high-profile media case in Houston.

Overall, in our short history of less than five years, we have handled over 2500 legal research and drafting assignments. SDD Global is adept at handling sophisticated, high-end legal work for demanding clients, large and small. The assignments reflect an ability to handle everything from conducting accurate legal research, to drafting legal memoranda, pleadings, motions and legal briefs, to drafting contracts for corporate and other transactions.


Benefits of Hiring SDD Global

In working for Texas attorneys, law firms and corporations, the professionals at SDD Global nearly always "wow" our clients. This is because not only are they handpicked through an intensive recruitment process, but are also provided continuous training on various aspects of U.S. legal research, analysis and writing - a process that even most U.S. law firms do not provide for American lawyers. By operating its principal facility from Mysore, India, SDD Global benefits tremendously from the large salary differentials and far lower operating costs. These benefits are passed on to the clients, resulting in 75% or more savings on legal spending. SDD Global's billing options are extremely flexible. Within reason, we strive to work within our client's budget. You may choose to engage our services on a flat fee basis, on an hourly basis or on a monthly retainer basis. Irrespective of the options you choose, you are assured almost 75 per cent, if not more, savings on your legal costs by off-shoring legal work to SDD Global.

All in all, the advantages of legal services outsourcing for attorneys and clients located in Texas are extensive. SDD Global Solutions stands ready to provide the best, high-quality and cost-effective legal solutions to Texas solo attorneys, law firms and corporations.
