Outsourcing

Latham’s globally top-ranked outsourcing practice advises and supports clients through every step of the outsourcing process, from early strategy development to going-to-market, contract management and, when necessary, dispute resolution. 

We draw on decades of industry-leading experience and award-winning tools to help clients structure robust, flexible, and easy-to-manage contracts. Our team works across sectors including financial services, logistics, manufacturing, telecommunications, and life sciences, helping clients develop their sourcing strategy and multi-sourced operations.

Our work advising on high-stakes and transformative outsourcing agreements allows us to provide insightful guidance to boards and managers as they confront competing interests and operational challenges on the way to a successful contract. We work closely with clients to help address these challenges and achieve success by making pragmatic decisions, providing market-oriented, commercially focused legal advice, and maintaining focus on achieving strategic objectives.

The team ensures each outsourcing deal’s global compliance, drawing on Latham’s deep industry and regulatory capabilities in all major jurisdictions. We bring particular experience advising on cloud, global data privacy, financial regulatory, communications, and employment law aspects of major outsourcing arrangements.
