Time is very important for lawyers and with tons of data it is very important to get to the required document as quickly as possible. Legal coding is the process of summarizing or making of a keyword data from a document. Used in the legal profession it is very useful during any litigation to create a fast-search index or database of documents.

Basically there are two types of legal coding, objective and subjective. During objective coding an index of all the documents/ data is made based upon different bibliographic objectives like,

• Title
• Source
• Author
• Date of the doc
• Recipient
• Document format
• Box number

Lawyers and attorneys spend time preparing for litigation and this involves collection of different documents relevant to the case. Thus they have to search and retrieve documents from database. In the earlier days a brief of the documents used to be prepared via dictation by the paralegal staff or secretary using a word processor application.

Subjective coding is the indexing of documents around subjective data. Objective coding options available today involves indexing based on

• Inventory of hot files

What is class action litigation? It is a legal procedure that is used to handle a law suit when many people have been injured by a common act or a set of actions. Class actions can be brought in either federal or state courts, though a recent federal law.

In the United States Federal Courts, class actions are governed by Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Defendants can move class action lawsuits from state to federal courts by the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005. A lawsuit becomes a class action when one or more plaintiffs who is called Lead Plaintiffs files a lawsuit claiming some kind of harm and then asks the court to certify the case as a class action.

What are the types of common cases in this area of litigation? They are law suits involving,

• Tobacco
• Asbestos
• Financial frauds
• Employment
• Pollution
• Breast implants
• Agent Orange (herbicide)

What makes the best class action attorneys? Previous experience in class litigation with a good track record and sufficient resources to do legal research are the main criteria that are looked into while choosing a lawyer for action class litigation.

One of the biggest advantages of class action litigation is that this type of law suit is an aggregation of a large number of individual claims. With smaller recoveries class action often makes the aggregated recovery worthy enough for the attorney's effort. Thus it increases the efficiency of litigation and also lowers the cost of litigation for the individuals involved.

While designing an e-commerce website there are many types of security issues which have to be well planned and executed or implemented on the website. What are these? Let me briefly list out.

• SSL (secure socket layers) encryption
• Multiple administrators login
• IP (Internet Protocol) blocking
• Access history (administrator)
• Crash proof shopping cart
• Secured database
• Access areas for "members only"
• Forms submission with "Captcha" validation

On the website one must make sure that all credit card transactions are done using 128 bit SSL encryption. One must also make sure that only the last four digits of credit card gets displayed. SSL uses public-key encryption to exchange a session key between the client and server. Different session keys should be used for different transactions which will make decrypting impossible for any one.

Another security related feature is the possibility of live updation of the website which may be done frequently on an e-commerce website. All existing data must be kept intact and nothing should be lost when upgrading the e-commerce website.

What is the type of web content that one must produce? This is a very important question as it will totally influence how popular and profitable our website becomes. One must create and use the right content development strategy because it is the most powerful way to achieve our website or online business goals. For example a well-written article, an informative or entertaining blog etc, can attract lot of people into the website and a good fraction can be converted into business success.

I recently asked an SEO professional and friend during a business meet if he used black hat or white hat SEO techniques and he told me that he is a grey hat guy, which means he some times does use black hat techniques. Man does not need God or a religious scripture to tell him that murder is wrong. In fact, there may be authorities that may justify a killing (like say for national defense) but anybody in his senses know it is still wrong from a human level.

Thus there are certain basic things all self respecting SEO people know is taboo as it is not ethical and bad for the future of the networked world (Web 1, Web 2, Web x...) Google or no Google, and also for his Soul. So, Do Not

Spam the search engines

Intentionally harm a client or competitor

Directly violate search engine guidelines

Falsely represent the clients content

Compromise with client's confidentiality

Be out of touch with the search engine/industry updates/changes

Be proud of using hidden links if you must

Be a part of the link farm mafia

The clinical data entry (CDE) technology is fast evolving. It is said that the nurses in the health sector spend almost a quarter of their working time for entering clinical data manually or otherwise and for related documentation work. Clinical data entry technologies are bound to change this as it will be beneficial to the health sector in the following ways,

• Reduced documentation time
• Will increase standardization of medical dictation
• Reduced errors

The biggest challenge for CDEs had been the fact that the one had to use the patient data directly for decision support systems, for assessment of quality, and this required well structured data entry. Today we have CDEs that combine free text and structured data entry in one single application and allows clinicians to smoothly switch between these two different types of data input. It is predicted that over the years clinical data entry will be commonplace and the patients' records will become living documents that can be quickly and directly used by clinicians to manage health care in a more continuous manner without waste of time in between.

The CDE will be a great boon to the health sector of the future as it will increasingly integrate together,

• Decision support systems
• Quality assessment systems
• Direct access to online biomedical literature
• Patient record

By definition, Incorporation is the forming of a new corporation (a corporation being a legal entity that is effectively recognized as a person, albeit a fictitious one, under the law). The corporation may be a business, a non-profit organization, sports club or even a government of a new city or town.

What are the legal benefits of incorporation? Well they are,

• Protection of personal assets
• Transferable ownership

• Retirement funds

The Articles of Incorporation (sometimes also referred to as the Certificate of Incorporation or the Corporate Charter) are the primary rules governing the management of a corporation.

If the business is a partnership firm or one's own proprietorship firm then we become obliged to all the liabilities of a business such as loans, accounts payable and legal judgments. In a corporation there are only stockholders, directors and officers whose liability is limited only to the amount they have invested in the business.

Some of the important points to remember while designing an e-commerce website is that the site is different from other regulars websites and hence has to be very interactive because visitors do not just come and browse in an online shop. They will want to communicate, buy, pay, comment, etc.

The four different modules that an ecommerce site must have are,

• Shopping cart
• Product database management system
• CRM- Customer Relationship Management
• Integration with a third party

The shopping cart can be used to just select a product and proceed to checkout. Or one can also design it such as to incorporate further features like, managing discounts, promotions and also management of all calculations etc. While designing the shopping do make it attractive and very easy for customers to use and they must be able to save their cart for future. An easy checkout process is also very important for the success of the site. While designing the website one has the option of either using readymade software based shopping carts, or design a customized new cart exclusively for our website.

As people buy the products management of all product is also a very important module and can be quite complex depending on the features of the website. Similarly one of the sure ways to enhance the customer experience of the customer is to have a good CRM module that enables features like, help desk, news letter, customer feedback, updating etc.

An ecommerce website can be integrated with different third parties who can be experts either
in credit checking, address checking, credit card gateway, or in providing logistics.

LPO or Legal Process Outsourcing of legal documents review is increasingly being preferred these days because document review has become a time consuming and expensive process, mainly triggered by data explosion, technological evolution, and the sudden increase in ESI (electronic stored information). One cannot also deny the fact that US practices lack consistent teams to perform document review work.

Document review in the context of litigation is done in two levels. The first level of document review is the discovery phase and first part in any litigation. This process is performed after receiving the legal "Request for production of documents". During this process the objective is to reduce the document set into a workable and responsive data set. Even though the e-discovery best practices have reduced a data set by almost 70% there still may remain millions of documents to be reviewed. This is because the total quantity of documents has multiplied several times over the years. In the second level these workable documents are reviewed more seriously by seniors.

As legal document review forms the major part of litigation expenses today law firms are trying out all methods to reduce the cost of litigation and outsourcing of e-discovery is a viable solution. During the document review process quite often millions of documents have to be searched and identified for

• Case relevance
• Confidentiality
• Privileged /protection
• "Key/hot" status

Besides in litigation, document review is also performed in matters of regulatory compliance and corporate due diligence.

The India based LPO services are a great boon in this regard because, attorneys in India doing the work come from the best law schools with a good understanding of the US legal system. They also use the best e-discovery technology, tools and processes and implement the highest level of security.

Photo blending refers to the blending of two or more different photographs to form one image. Photographers and designers often blend photographs. Most of the modern and the olden day science fiction movies have been using the blending technique. With this technique it becomes possible for the characters to be transported to a totally different location /environment or background by just blending of the images. The technology of blending has perfected over the years.

Thus one can take a photograph of a person and blend it with a photo of the Himalayas so realistically that the person would look like he was actually there. Actually anyone with a passion for creativity they can easily blend photographs in exciting ways and also convert any photo into a work of art. One does not need to have great photo editing skills. Any layman with a little computer and Photoshop experience can create great photos with simple blending.

However for the photo editing professional blending is a very specialized subject and involves many different types of photo blending modes. A layer's blending mode determines how its pixels blend with underlying pixels in the image thereby allowing for the creation of different special effects using blending modes. Here is a list of the different blending modes available in Adobe Photoshop CS.

• Normal
• Dissolve
• Darken
• Multiply
• Color burn
• Linear burn

There are many reasons for outsourcing of various legal/paralegal processes including legal transcription but the foremost off course is the immediate reduction in the expenditure involved and the possibility of increased savings and profit. The total global market for offshore IT, BPO, KPO is said to be about 300 billion US dollars.

India has been a leader in the IT sector and also in the BPO sector and this includes offshoring of projects in data entry,data processing, medical transcription, call center outsourcing, etc. The different varieties of specialized legal transcription being off shored to India include,

• Dictation transcription
• Court proceedings transcription
• Trial transcription
• Verbatim transcription
• Legal letter transcription
• General correspondence transcription
• Wire tap transcription

Off late beyond just legal transcription the world is to see a boom in offshore outsourcing of many other higher legal processes like legal research, document review e-discovery etc. The focus for all such legal outsourcing and legal transcription outsourcing /offsho0ring is indeed India because of its many advantageous positions like,

• English educated population

One must not choose colors at random while designing a website but only after due consideration of what would be good for your niche audience or website users. Under no circumstance would any business website want the site users/ browsers to feel bad about the bad choice of colors or design. Hence it becomes essential to plan the clors well in advance.

Here are a few things to remember.

• Maintain contrast in color between background and the text color
• Colors should be replaceable for different browser settings
• Prefer plain and solid text
• Avoid too many colors
• Use color coding for navigation
• Let the site color convey the firms character and message
• Have consistency in color
• Avoid backgrounds with textures
• Consider the popular color blindness needs
• Avoid florescent writing
• Regarding colors on site get color feedback from customers
• Consider lighting condition of viewers
• Consult color wheel chart before pairing colors

During legal research when one wants up-to-date information on a topic, it becomes mandatory to refer to the latest periodicals and journals. But then there are different categories of these periodicals each with a distinct character and level of information. When using online or offline resources from major libraries one must be aware of the different levels of scholarship associated with the different categories of periodicals. The basic four types of categories are,

• Scholarly journals
• Substantive,
• News/General Interest
• Popular
• Sensational

The word scholarly is mainly concerned with research and academic study, and has the attitude and characteristics of a scholar. It is often accompanied by an abstract or a summary of the article. Scholarly journals

• are written by scholars
• have the purpose of reporting original research
• always cite sources
• always list the author's credentials
• have a serious look with very few flashy pictures
• use a disciplinary style of language

While substantive periodicals are publications meant for an educated audience they contain illustrations and photographs and are made to look attractive with the objective to provide information in a general manner. Information got from a popular magazine is always second or third hand and will never cite the source. Sensational publications assume certain gullibility in their audience and often use inflammatory language.

While doing legal research it would be best to get a reference book that describes and evaluates all the periodicals in a library.

Information processing and data entry is an important and accepted process in all sectors of the economy.Data entry has become an industry has created a different profession requiring specialisations for specific sectors. In the earlier days in offices all such work was done by clerks and typists who had to do data entry work as part of the overall operation either in the marketing department, administrative accounts or other departments. With the dawn of the information age data became very crucial and along with the evolution of the IT /ITES and data processing /mining sectors there also evolved the fulltime data entry professional.

A typical data entry worker starts work while in high school and after graduation data entry and keyboarding is the first job that he gets.The average worker earns about $25000 annually.However over a period of time most of them increase their skills and move on to higher level jobs with more responsibilities such as secretary, administrative assistant, supervisor or statistical clerk. However now it is predicted that in the long run (by 2014) the demand for data entry in the US is going to reduce as lot of data entry work will be outsourced and done at other global locations and most work will be replaced by automation. Data entry workers are also known by the following names,

• Word processors
• DTP specialist
• Typists,
• Data entry keyers
• Information processing workers
• Electronic data processors
• Keypunch technicians
• Transcribers

There is already an increased trend of data entry keyers working with non keyboard forms of data entry, using scanners and electronically transmitted files. As time goes by the use of data-capturing technologies, such as barcode scanners, voice recognition technologies, and sophisticated character recognition readers will replace the traditional data entry operator or professional.

It is always a good idea to have a Will. Will is a legal document that lets us decide how our property and estate has to be distributed after our death. No one is ever aware as to when death will occur and it makes perfect sense to be well prepared. We might not be quite rich, yet we would definitely have personal preferences as to who are the people that must receive our personal belongings. By definition in the common law, a will or testament is a document by which a person (the testator) regulates the rights of others over his or her property or family after death.

The actual will can have all details and instructions of how exactly our family members should proceed. A will makes everything clear and one does not have to get the special service from any law professional. If in any doubt about how to get a Will documented, it is best to consult professional legal documentation service providers. Such experts can help us in letting others know details regarding funeral arrangements, advice on appointing guardians for children, protecting loved ones etc.

Who is the eligible person for writing a will? Well any person over the age of majority can draft their own will without the aid of an attorney. The age of majority is the threshold of adulthood as it is conceptualized in law. It is mandatory that the following points should be included in a Will.

• The testator must clearly identify himself as the maker of the will, and that a will is being made; this is commonly called "publication" of the will, and is typically satisfied by the words "last will and testament" on the face of the document.
• The testator must declare that he revokes all previously-made wills and codicils. Otherwise, a subsequently-made will revokes earlier wills and codicils only to the extent that they are inconsistent. However, if a subsequent will is completely inconsistent with an earlier one, that earlier will be considered completely revoked by implication.
• The testator must demonstrate that he has the capacity to dispose of his property, and does so freely and willingly.
• The testator must sign and date the will, usually in the presence of at least two disinterested witnesses (persons who are not beneficiaries).
• The testator's signature must be placed at the end of the will. If this is not observed, any text following the signature will be ignored, or the entire will may be invalidated if what comes after the signature is so material that ignoring it would defeat the testator's intentions.

Though both the terms legal transcription and legal scoping are closely related there has been much lesser use of the term scoping whereas the term transcription has almost become popular. Just for the sake of the naive let me start with first differentiating transcription from translation because the term scoping also relates to translation. (here we translate short hand language into text). To clarify,

• Translation is conversion of one language text / audio into another language. ( Ex : Translating from French to Japanese)
• Legal translation is the translation of texts within the field of law.
• Transcription is converting audio file / recording into text documents (or a transcript)
• Legal transcription involves transcription of legal documents.
• Legal scoping is converting of court reporting documents into transcripts that could mean either,

a) Translation of stenotype (short hand machine) notes into text or transcripts.

b) Converting audio/video court recordings into transcripts using computerized text editors (this one is almost like transcription but differs from legal transcription mainly because the term legal transcription involves transcription of legal documents that have originated both from inside and outside the court.)

c) Real time transcription, using CAT (Computer Aided Transcription) instantly produces unedited text on all the computer screens in court in real time which is later edited by scopists and then proofread before final conversion into legally authorized transcripts. (This service can be made available both onsite and remote)

Busy court reporters always prefer to get their court reports scoped using professional scopists or avail services from online scoping outsourcing providers who arrange to get the work done on a regular and consistent basis at attractive rates. This service is available with minimal TAT (turnaround time) and over 99% accuracy.

Quite often the aim of an investor is to get a good return on investment. But different investors can have different objectives. Whenever new investments are made by someone one can be sure that a lot of homework has been done before one reaches the final decision of investing. Whether the investor is acquiring a company or business, or getting into a joint venture with others, he has to first properly determine the actual value of the firm that he plans to buy. Here legal due diligence investigations will have to be conducted in the different areas /aspects of the business including,

• Financial
• Tax
• Legal
• Technical
• Commercial dues

As due diligence is conducted professionally, different business trends will be discovered. Besides assessing the current management of the company, the overall market and industry trends are studied and one can find out if there is scope for further collaborative activities. During commercial due diligence the company's position in the industry, its various competitors, strengths and weaknesses etc will have to be known with precision. The complete picture of the company can be got only after a thorough analysis is made.

While conducting a specialized technical due diligence one may have to assess the product, its technical potential, analysis and assessment of the manufacturing processes, the factory site etc. Conducting an environmental due diligence is also very essential for an investor to make sure he does not have any environmental liability or risks. Taking into consideration all the above aspects only can an investor take the correct purchasing or participation decision.

What is a Power of Attorney (POA)? It is usually a written legal document that states about one person giving to another person his authority and complete power to represent him. Basically there are two parties to it, the principal, and the agent or attorney-in-fact. The principal is the one who gives the power while the other person who receives the power is called the agent. This Power of Attorney document has to be signed by both the principal and the agent in front of two witnesses and a notary.

Web data extraction refers to the process of retrieving structured data from unstructured or semi structured online data. Web data extractors and automation software are available today in the market that provides quick solutions to large and small business firms. In the earlier days before data extraction software was available, web data extraction used to be a very expensive affair and companies had to depend on the development of customized applications also called as "wrappers" that were written by programmers.

The manual method of searching the web is difficult and can be very time consuming especially due to the growing quantities of data/information on the Internet. It is almost humanly impossible to look up all online data even with methods like key word searching which is not sufficient and efficient enough. Web Data Extraction services are based on the use of data extraction software using scripting language can execute various processes like,

• Data tracking
• Web spider / web crawler
• Automated form submission
• Workflow management
• Data quality management
• Data cleansing
• Data transformation

Whenever any company with an American product or service tries to get into the Spanish languages markets (either from the Latin American countries, within the US, or in Spain) they are immediately faced with the challenge of appropriately translating their existing English advertisements into the Spanish language. Converting an English advertisement into Spanish is a very challenging task and the foremost requirement is of course to locate the right native Spanish translator. It is also similar when products from Spain or other Latin American countries try to get into the US and sell to the growing Hispanic market.

There have been numerous examples of blunderous and totally wrong translations of advertisements to and from English. This is because Spanish English translation is almost similar to translating poetry or other classic text. Cultural differences and the use of extra linguistic factors like myth and symbols become very important and if not properly understood in the right /corresponding context can distort the meaning greatly to such an extent that it can turn out to be hilarious, vulgar or stupid. Even within the Hispanic Spanish population we find different categories of population that entered the United States all speaking Spanish but having distinctly different colloquial Spanish usage and slang.

• Old Hispanics from the Spanish conquest age
• Recently arrived Mexicans
• Puerto Ricans
• Cubans

Other factors like presence of different age groups, double culture groups etc must also be taken into consideration before the target audience is fixed. Any kind of a cultural mismatch in the advertisements will not only be ineffective and a waste of time and money but can also become a cause for negative impact on the business. However under such circumstances it is advised to always seek help from professional Spanish English and English to Spanish translation service providers.

Managed Outsource Solutions (MOS) is a US based BPO services provider offering high quality English to Spanish and Spanish to English translation services and always using experienced native translators that specialize for various industries such as business, legal, medical, government, automotive industry and finance with active representation in all the different US states and cities.

Are you still having a lockbox facility to recieve cheques at the office? Modern technology has been revolutionizing the banking proces and now it is not necessary to physically deliver the check to the bank. One can deposit the check into an account from our home or office itself. The Check 21 Act of the United States has made this practice legal in the United States since 2004. The check 21 act makes a digital image of a check legally acceptable for payment purposes. The full text of the Check 21 Act is available at http://legislation.politicalinformation.com/check-21-act-2004.htm

Remote deposit check processing had been slow in catching up in the US. As by now it has proven to be a secure and safe method besides helping to save time and money, it is bound to fast catch up. It is believed that by the end of 2007 about 4000 financial institutions would have adopted the remote deposit process deploying over 2,50000 scanners. Some of the major American banks that allow remote check deposit include, Bank of America, Capital One Bank, Citibank , Commerce Bank , Commerce National Bank and JPMorgan Chase.

Some of the benefits of adopting this technology include,

• Eliminate cost of courier
• Funds available quicker and in an instant.
• Lower cost of accounts receivable processing
• Lesser staff requirement
• Reduced sales outsourcing

The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) is an Act of Congress which has greatly reformed United States immigration law. It is also known as the Simpson-Mazzoli Act and was signed by President Ronald Reagan on November 6, 1986. The Act made it illegal to knowingly hire or recruit undocumented workers (immigrants who do not possess lawful work authorization). It also requires employers to attest to the immigration status of their employees.

Amnesty was granted to all the undocumented workers who entered the United States before January 1,1982 and were residing here continuously. To take a look at the entire text of the Act go to http://www.oig.lsc.gov/legis/irca86.htm

Critics argue that the act of granting amnesty has actually caused the multiplication of illegal immigration into the USA and today there are more than 12 million illegal immigrants inside the US.

Writing a letter to client is different from other legal documents that are prepared. When an attorney or lawyers writes a letter of advice to a client it must have a professional touch and the letter must follow certain standard structure with the right priority yet must be free from legalese as far as possible. The foremost point is of course to state the very purpose of the letter. The letter could be for some specific enquiry or to get some information from the client or to inform of the next legal step to be taken in the case.

If there is a problem (there is bound to be one) do state the problem along with the facts that causes the problem. The letter should also give our opinion on the problem and also give a summary along with the conclusion. It is not required to leave the conclusion towards the end of the letter. After mentioning the conclusion it may be followed by a discussion of the different options that are available under the current circumstance. The letter must clear the applicable law and propose to recommend from one of the options. An explanation for choosing a particular option and also an explanation as to why it is most suited, will go a long way in good communication with the client.

Once the option to choose has been mentioned it should be followed by the actual steps that have to be taken to be executed. If the client is expected to do something it must be clearly stated in the letter. It is quite possible that the client may still be confused after reading the letter and so an invitation to discuss the matter in person can be included. It will definitely be in good spirits and enhance relation and trust with the client.

After politely ending the letter, all the attachments should be mentioned with a listing of all enclosures so that the client can check out that he has received every thing with out missing anything. Here is a simple yet important checklist to check out before posting the letter. The client letter should be planned in advance and it is best to follow established norm and style unless there is a strong reason for not following it. Before dispatch of the letter do a final check for correctness in,

• Recipient's name and address
• The date letter is sent;
• The identity of the sender;
• The subject matter
• Correct stationery.
• Use of plain/simple English
• File a copy of the client letter

Data cleansing is also known by the names data cleaning and data scrubbing. However it is not the same as data validation. While basically data cleansing is about removing incorrect data from a data base, data validation is a much earlier process of rejecting irrelevant data even before it is entered into the database.

Litigation animation is a well planned and edited audiovisual presentation that converts complicated information into easy and interesting trial exhibits and be presented in court. Besides being a highly effective litigation support tool it helps attorneys and law professionals explain difficult concepts, and impress the judge and jury.

Litigation animation is usually used as evidence. But it is essential that like all other tangible evidence it must also adhere to the Federal Rules of Evidence. If the court finds that the animation is not accurate, the animation will not be admitted in court.

A computer generated animation is different when compared to a simulation. In a simulation we see a prediction of what can happen in the future by making use of certain known facts. For simulation it becomes necessary to use industry accepted software to convert the data into simulation, while in an animation instead of predicting events we see a short computer-generated movie that is a person's opinion on the matter. Considering the admissibility as evidence, a litigation animation is more difficult to qualify than say a survey map, but it will definitely score over a simulation. The main advantage of choosing to go for litigation animation is that it can survive high levels of cross examination because it is fully supported by solid fact or by testimony.

Here are some tips to get your animations the required admissibility in court;

• Get the animation testified by an appropriate qualified industry expert
• Choose a professional animation firm
• Ensure use of quality hardware/software
• Give sufficient pretrial notice (about use of animation)
• Disclose all aspects of the animation(expert / software / hardware etc)
• Be well prepared to meet all objections

What are wiretaps? By definition wiretap is any interception of a telephone transmission by accessing the telephone signal. It is related to the term "electronic eavesdropping" and involves the use of an electronic transmission or recording device for the purpose of monitoring conversations without the permission of the parties involved. The Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) is a United States wiretapping law passed in 1994.

Professional wiretap transcription services are offered by transcription companies and involve listening to these recorded conversations and converting them into transcripts for the concerned authorities so that they can be used as evidence in court. Usually it is the Federal law enforcement officials who can tap telephone lines/ Internet by obtaining a court order to detect unlawful activity. It is the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court conducts a secret proceeding before giving the permission.

What are the different types of telecommunication carriers according to CALCAE? They are,

• Common telecommunication carriers
• Broadband Internet access providers
• Interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service providers

According to the federal law, recording of phone calls is possible only with the consent of at least one of the party to the call. This is the standard adopted by most states in the US. But there are few states that require consent from both the parties. Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, all US states have passed laws to increase their wiretapping authorities.

All telecommunications companies are by law, obliged to cooperate in this matter for law enforcement purposes and are also duly compensated for the same.

The US business community has by now realized the great opportunity of possible slashing down their operation costs by offshore outsourcing to cheaper but good quality labor countries. If you are a company in the US and want to outsource works to India, China, the Philippines or any other Asian locations, what are the different options that you have? What are the different legal structures that make offshore outsourcing possible? There are three possible options or methods that have been followed:

• Sign a contract with a third party for getting the services
• Start your own subsidiary in that country and contract for services with it.
• Third party contracting with the intention of acquiring it in the future

When you are just starting out on outsourcing, it is better to choose out the independent third part contractor that usually has its own infrastructure and manpower in the offshore country where the service is done. Starting a subsidiary and acquisition etc may be done later, but the initial advantages of letting a third party do all the work means lower risk and freedom from the hassles of startup costs and infrastructure development.

If choosing to go for an offshore subsidiary straight away one will have the advantage of better control and a better security for all your sensitive data and intellectual property. But today independent services providers are also offering a high level of security and consistently maintain a good level of interaction with clients irrespective of their global location.

Managed Outsource Solutions (MOS) is a US based BPO leader and a legal outsourcing service provider that offers professional and affordable services and solutions in outsourcing to offshore locations like India and the Philippines.
