Eversheds outsources legal support services

Eversheds has followed a growing trend to cut costs by outsourcing legal support services. The firm is reportedly planning to make its entire back office finance team redundant, shifting the work offshore to India. Employees in the firm’s Birmingham office will be first to feel the hit, with 60 jobs expected to be lost, and it has been reported that Eversheds is also considering a joint venture with Accenture to replace other teams.
