Every legal outsourcing deal must begin with a contractual agreement. This will define how the outsourcing legal firm and the LPO vendor or service provider will function together.
When drawing up such a contractual agreement it is vitally important to have specific procedures and detailed plans in the event of things going wrong included.
This legally binding document will have three significant dates signed by both parties. They are the signature date, the date from when the contract terms will become active and the service commencement date which marks when the vendor will initiate the services.

The service provider signs the contractual agreement and thus undertakes to maintain the confidentiality of any information that will be made available.
The contractual agreement should clearly define the provisions for training, process and procedures. If these are not documented correctly it may make for a lot of confusion later on.
The contractual agreement should also include provisions fro a smooth transition from one idea or solution to another in case of things not working out as expected.
Your contractual agreement must also specify how and within what time frame any problems that are sure to arise will be put right as well as the financial consequences on their not being fixed.
The contract must also take into consideration the steps to be taken for a pull out should the outsourcing company fail to live up to expectations and deliver satisfactorily.
Of course it goes without saying that security considerations are an extremely important part of the outsourcing contractual agreement and should not be omitted for any reason whatsoever.
In short what you really need to do is look at what a standard contractual agreement would include but also ensure that everything is legally valid in an alien country.
You will have to consider local customs and legal standards, and the fair treatment of employees.
Therefore when you are drawing up your contractual agreement it would be a good idea to consult local contacts who are familiar with local customs.
Research and plan your contractual agreement in such a way that you do not ever need to pull it out again.
