- US Law Firms moves to India
Howrey is opening its own office in India, although outsourcing is not what it is doing there, insists Robert Ruyak, the firm's managing partner and CEO. The firm's new India establishment isn't a law office, though, since Indian law prohibits U.S. firms from practicing there. The firm has a large number of document-intensive litigation, intellectual property and international arbitration matters, the legal publication reports—and much of the firm's document work already is being done right now by some 200 employees, most of whom aren't lawyers, working in a Falls Church, Va. office, in the Washington, D.C. Howrey plans to hire both Indian graduates of both U.S. colleges and Indian colleges and graduate schools and train them in Falls Church before sending them back to their home country.
