Hi Raashee,
As Prabin have mentioned LPO stands for Legal Process Outsourcing. The LPO industry will be interested to hire only the candidates with LAW background, i.e. he/she should have completed their graduation or post graduation in Law.
As an HR for an LPO you should know the various projects handled in an LPO, some of the projects are as below,
- Document review and electronic discovery
- Legal research and support
- Contract drafting, review, negotiation & management
- Patent Drafting
- Litigation
As an HR in an LPO you should be competent in the following areas,
Recruitment:Participating in and supervising the day-to-day aspects of recruitment and also working on enlarging the labor pool by engaging with law schools and other professional organizations.
Training & Ongoing Continuous Legal Education: Structuring, overseeing and refreshing robust training for all levels of staff.
Mentoring: Developing a mentoring relationship with all managers to participate in their professional development.
People Management: Taking leadership and ownership in people management across the vertical and ensure that the vertical has a meritocracy oriented, people-friendly, knowledge-oriented culture where people treat each other as valued colleagues. Implement appropriate programs for keeping employee morale high and ensure employee longevity/retention.
Knowledge Management: Extending findings, procedures and analyses into white papers, conference presentations and client briefings and participating in colloquia, conferences, seminars, etc. Ensure that the link between training/continuous legal education and knowledge management is maintained so that delivery knowledge is uploaded real time into a repository.
