Cerebra LPO COO & Sr. Adviser David Kinnear makes Top 10 list of power brokers in prestigious rankings by The Outsourcing Institute
New York, NY – March 14, 2012: Known for his ability to spot early trends and drive groundswell in the industry, Cerebra LPO COO David Kinnear was today announced a Top 10 Power Networker by the Outsourcing Institute. Accredited for his critical role as a marketplace catalyst behind the scenes, Kinnear joins a list of New York’s power brokers who have helped build the industry in the Big Apple and much further afield.
As an attorney & early architect for distributed and outsourced services delivery during his days at Credit Suisse, Kinnear has since played a role in the growth of the HRO, BPO and most recently, LPO sectors. He is the founder & Chairman of The Global Sourcing Council and a partner in GSSOCX. He sits on the Global Advisory Board of BRICS Connect. He takes the view that Cloud changes everything – providing the basis for a new wave of commercial opportunity for both established companies and grassroots start-ups alike.
Commenting on the award, Frank Casale the founder & CEO of the Outsourcing Institute said: ”Hearty congratulations to David Kinnear for making this list. For years he has invested the time to build, nurture and share his network. He has a very keen eye for industry trends and I recommend being on his radar, for sure.”
Of the growing LPO sector, Kinnear notes: “Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) looks a lot like the early HRO market – yet has the potential to be even bigger. The LPO movement represents a fundamental and exciting shift in the delivery of legal services – and perhaps more broadly, in professional services. The brief history of the outsourcing industry tells us to watch closely and look for the agile game-winners such as Cerebra, not just the big names.”
An award ceremony will be held on March 15th in New York. Those interested in attending are welcome to RSVP at: http://new.evite.com/#view_invite:eid=019CAARBSZ35RYIKCEPBNOARKE4LJI or contact Cerebra’s New York office at: www.cerebralpo.com

The Obama administration is escalating its crackdown on tough immigration laws, with lawyers reviewing four new state statutes to determine whether the federal government will take the extraordinary step of challenging the measures in court.“I don’t recall any time in history that the Justice Department has so aggressively challenged state laws,” said Jonathan Turley, a constitutional law expert at George Washington University Law School.Read more http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obama-administration-widens-challenges-to-state-immigration-laws/2011/09/28/gIQA8HgR7K_story.html?wpisrc=nl_pmpolit
Cerebra LPO and Foreign Translations to Deliver… Cerebra LPO and Foreign Translations to Deliver Global Legal & Translation Outsourcing
Cerebra LPO and Foreign Translations, Inc. Tap Growing International Market for Translation and Legal Services in Strategic Services PartnershipNew York, NY – September 28, 2011 — Cerebra LPO and Foreign Translations, Inc. today announced formation of their strategic services partnership offering a combination of legal support and translation services to the growing number of law firms and companies involved in global business. Citing the increased need for cross-border support and translation for international transactions, the two firms felt it was timely to bring together these key elements in a better and more cohesive way.Commenting on the organization, Foreign Translations CEO Ken Zwerdling commented, “Partnership with Cerebra is a natural fit for us. Our language services combined with Cerebra’s legal support services means that our clients have at their disposal two incredible companies to facilitate their business dealings anywhere across the globe.”Noting the timeliness of the deal, David Kinnear, COO of Cerebra LPO said, “With the increasing shift in deal flow and transactional activity vis a vis China, Asia and emerging markets, it’s timely to be able to deliver all support services – including legal, translation, and research – to the deal-makers. Bottom line, we make it simple to get the legal and translation support required to get business done globally.”The competitive price-point models of professional services in outsourcing and alternative delivery are gaining in popularity as a means to offer qualified support to transactional organizations such as law firms. Far beyond the early days of IT outsourcing, organizations are looking increasingly at alternative staffing and delivery structures in professional services that allow for a more agile, global response to business demands. One of the most recent sectors to witness this growth in demand is the legal sector, which includes a growing need for support in the area of foreign language translation.
The two firms will also participate in an upcoming webinar entitled: “The Future of Law – and the Impact of Outsourcing” on October 26, 2011. Registration details will be available on the companies’ respective websites.

2011 Legal Process Outsourcing Market Set To Grow 34%.
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/g/a/2010/12/08/prweb4870654.DTL
The LPO Program today releases its forecast of the 2011 Legal Process Outsourcing market showing high growth in all areas of the legal community. The main users of LPO continue to be Corporate Law Departments, who are forecast to add $129m of spending in 2011. Law firms are shaking off traditional caution and are fueling 41% of the projected growth. On these forecasts, it is expected that at least 9 high profile deals will be announced by law firms in the next 12 months.
Public Sector use of LPO is the largest new source of growth in 2011. Political considerations and ongoing caution across all sectors will support the growth of the on-shore delivery market, though India remains the most common delivery location.
Commenting on the forecast, Edward Brooks, of The LPO Program, said “The maturing of the supplier community is perfectly timed for buyers of LPO services. While very attractive cost savings open the door for LPO, the long term strategic advantages explain why a very sophisticated sector is actually signing on the line.”
The LPO Program says that the Global LPO market is expected to grow 34% ($217m) in 2011, from a base of $640m, to $857m. Corporate legal departments are the largest drivers of the growth; closely followed by UK-based law firms. US law firms are very active in the market but continue to be cautious relative to their UK counterparts.
Overall the US market continues to be constrained by political considerations. Ongoing discussions in Congress continue to create an environment in which potential buyers of Legal Process Outsourcing services are treading cautiously. This will remain an issue until at least 2012 and is holding back US organizations from getting the full value of outsourcing.
The UK public sector will be the major new growth opportunity for the LPO market as it reacts to extreme cost pressures. While this segment of the market has been a regular user of external legal resources, full scale outsourcing of in-house legal functions is now firmly on the agenda across the UK, in particular within Local Authorities.
Reputation risk and political considerations will benefit low cost, onshore locations, namely Northern Ireland for the UK and relatively low cost US states e.g. Utah, Oklahoma. India continues to be the preferred offshore delivery location, with countries such as the Philippines and South Africa hampered by relatively low volumes of skilled resources.
Edward Brooks continued, “Ongoing economic uncertainty makes any organization wary of adding fixed costs and fixed capacity, and that makes LPO even more attractive. All deals benefit from significant cost savings, but market leaders are taking a strategic decision based on the value of having a variable cost base and a flexible talent pool.”
The long term strength of the LPO market also looks very robust. Edward Brooks added, “We have seen a significant increase in the percentage of “Active Observers” in the market. We classify “Active Observers” as being subscribers to The LPO Program who move from being recipients of our free services and newsletters to paying for basic access the Program’s Research Services. Active Observers are typically from organizations that are carrying out early stage analysis of their LPO options. Given the complexity of LPO projects, the deals that the Active Observers are contemplating are not likely to hit the market until 2012, but it is a healthy indicator of the future size of the market.”
