At the beginning of each year, we survey Morrison & Foerster’s Global Sourcing Group lawyers in Asia, Europe, and the United States regarding the current state of the world’s outsourcing market and emerging trends likely to shape that market over the next twelve months. In this year’s update, our lawyers comment on the impact of the economic downturn on outsourcing, identify key business and legal considerations in today’s sourcing deals, and highlight new sourcing- related developments in various regions of the world. Our lawyers’ views are based on what they have seen in their outsourcing projects during 2008, as well as on the views expressed by service providers, outsourcing consultants, and clients.
