What is Legal Firms outsourcing?
What is Legal Process Outsourcing? Legal process outsourcing (LPO) involves delegating research, document review, conveyancing support, and administrative tasks to trained legal professionals outside the firm. Treba's paralegals and legal researchers in Nairobi operate within the same Common Law framework as England and Wales, trained on UK court procedures and SRA compliance standards.
Why Treba.
The problem.
Why UK legal firms struggle with outsourcing. Mid-size law firms are bleeding margin on administrative legal work. Trainee solicitors cost £35,000+ before they review a single document, and most spend 60% of their time on work that doesn't require a practising certificate. Hiring paralegals in London is competitive and slow — 4–6 week cycles for candidates who leave within 18 months. Meanwhile, conveyancing pipelines stall, disclosure deadlines slip, and fee earners absorb tasks that destroy their utilisation rates.
Right for you if:
You're losing fee earner hours to document review, property searches, and administrative legal work.
You need Common Law-trained paralegals who understand precedent-based reasoning without a 6-week ramp.
You want to scale capacity for large disclosure exercises without permanent headcount commitments.
