Leading legal services outsourcing company CPA Global has leapt up the rankings of The Global Outsourcing 100®, a prestigious industry listing produced by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals.

CPA Global is one of the fastest climbers in the 2011 Global Outsourcing 100, which covers the leading players in all disciplines of outsourcing, including the largest IT and business process outsourcing companies. CPA Global rose to 23rd place this year, compared with 42nd in the 2010 ranking and 60th in 2009. The company was also identified as one of the top 20 providers to both the financial services and technology sectors.

Companies selected for The Global Outsourcing 100 undergo a rigorously judged application process that assesses four critical characteristics: size and growth, customer references, organisational competencies, and management capabilities.

Leah Cooper, CPA Global's Director, Legal Services Outsourcing, said: “As a pure-play legal services provider*, we are delighted to have achieved such a high ranking in the 2011 Global Outsourcing 100. Our rapid rise in this important industry listing over the past three years underlines CPA Global’s position as the leader in our sector as well as the growing market acceptance of legal services outsourcing. Many international corporations are already recognising the benefits of LSO, and the question they are increasingly asking us is not ‘why LSO’, but ‘how’ do they go about introducing LSO into their organisations.”

Michael Corbett, IAOP Chairman and chair of the judges’ panel, said: “CPA Global is to be congratulated on again being one of the fastest climbers in The Global Outsourcing 100 and to breaking into the top quartile. The Global Outsourcing Outsourcing 100 is a top industry ranking. The companies who make it into the listing are proven leaders and rising stars. They are the companies you want to partner with to achieve success and better outsourcing outcomes.”
