Should we outsource lawyers and accountants?

I mean rutine task such as drafting research memos, surveying the laws of various jurisdictions, bookkeeping etc.

The security and confidentiality would be easy to handle, even in India.

If you ever need to go to court, then you should use money on getting the best lawyer/accountant. However in those simple rutine task, then it will save alot of money - probably save 2/3 of cost.

Again, there's no way I'd personally trust someone in another country to know all the US laws. And there are laws regarding how lawyers and accountants conduct business in the US - how would you sue someone who's a citizen of India for legal malpractice regarding laws in the US?

I guess for those who are desperate enough to want to save $$ on something like that, it might be worth it, but when I get a lawyer or accountant, I want the best, not the cheapest.
