Cobra Legal Solutions Offers US Lawyers 'Peek Into the Future' of Legal Services

NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cobra Legal Solutions LLC announced today the creation of a secondment program for US attorneys currently practicing in the United States. Selected participants will spend from 2 to 6 months at Cobra's operational facility in Chennai, India, working with the company's attorney teams, process managers and US-trained attorney managers on a variety of outsourced legal support projects.

Cobra's secondment program will provide participants with a unique, hands-on opportunity to further their professional and personal growth. According to Candice Corby, Cobra's CEO, "Exposure to the processes and capabilities of a world-class LPO like Cobra will provide young lawyers with invaluable insights into the rapidly evolving business of law. The practical experience and broader perspectives this opportunity affords will enable these lawyers to serve their clients more knowledgeably and more effectively when they return to their firms or corporate legal departments."

Cobra, in turn, hopes to gain from the expertise, best practices, client exposure and familiarity with higher-level legal processes that experienced US attorneys will bring to its legal team. "This program has the potential to become an essential part of the ongoing legal education of the secondees and Cobra lawyers alike," says Corby.

Cobra's secondment program is open to US-barred attorneys currently employed in corporate legal departments or as associates at US law firms – ideally those that are currently utilizing offshore legal support services.

According to Lee Webb, the US trial attorney responsible for the direct oversight and management of Cobra's India-based attorney team, "This is an opportunity for adventurous and entrepreneurial young lawyers to see a vibrant and fascinating part of the world, inspire and be inspired by Cobra's exceptional team of Indian lawyers, and peek into the future of the legal industry."

Cobra is accepting applications for the secondment program and will continue to do so year-round. The company expects to have approximately 6 secondees resident in Chennai per year. Interested candidates should contact Candice Corby at [email protected].
