About the Chambers Alternative Legal Service Providers Legal Guide 2023

Welcome to the Chambers Alternative Legal Service Providers Guide 2023. Use the search functionality above to search the world’s leading providers of outsourced and alternative legal services. 

Chambers ALSP Guide identifies and ranks the most innovative organisations in the alternative legal services market, delivering indispensable insights and enabling decision makers to secure the talent that is right for them.   

With the proliferation of alternative legal services providers, clients can now choose between a broad range of businesses offering their services for tasks traditionally handled by law firms. Utilising service centres in low-cost jurisdictions and in-house technology, these providers are often a more efficient and cost-effective option without sacrificing quality. 

The 2023 guide includes a significant number of new organisations featured in our ranking tables, which cover Flexible Legal Staffing, Contract Lifecycle Management, Litigation Services and Law Firm LPOs. We also have two market-specific rankings tables in Spain and the Asia-Pacific region. 

The report is the result of interviews with the service providers themselves, their clients and third-party market insiders, and the analysis of qualitative feedback concerning technical ability, client service and value for money.
