The ACC Hong Kong Board of Directors invites you to the following presentation, hosted by Stephenson Harwood.
Outsourcing of services or functions by an organisation is now a common business strategy. The talk will look at the key legal and practical issues that arise in relation to outsourcing including discussion around the process, the contractual arrangements and the risks involved. We will look at the issues both from a customer and supplier's perspective. In addition, we will briefly look at some specific issues relevant to common areas for outsourcing (such as IT and business processes) as well as multi-jurisdiction outsourcing.
The talk will be relevant not only for lawyers involved in negotiating or reviewing outsourcing arrangements, but also for those interested in learning more about this important business area.
