Event Details

You and your client are trying to balance cost-efficiencies, quality focus, business trends, due diligence and still keep growing. How do you juggle the business needs, regulations and relationships? What are others doing? In a world where companies are focusing more on their core competencies and spinning off non-core services, sourcing and off-shoring create business opportunities, extended enterprises and challenges in due diligence and compliance.

Consultants, lawyers and business people wrestle everyday with decisions on how to balance cost, relationships and regulations for the long term. Outsourcing and offshoring present an interesting array of opportunities but also present traps in a regulated world.

Our panel will discuss some of the issues that come up in Outsourcing relationships, tips on how to avoid and manage the traps, some basic common outsourcing sense and a few "war stories".
