Outsourcing Agreements
What is an outsourcing agreement?
An outsourcing agreement is a contractual arrangement between a company and a third-party service provider to delegate specific tasks, functions, or processes. The agreement should outline the scope, responsibilities, expectations, pricing, and other key terms governing the relationship between the parties.
When would you use an outsourcing agreement?
An outsourcing arrangement is commonly used when a company wants to delegate certain non-core functions to external specialists. This can be for a number of reasons:
Cost reductions: the service provider may have economies of scale and specialised expertise, reducing operation expenses for the client.
Focus on core activities: a company can focus its resources and efforts on its core business activities, hopefully leading to improved efficiency and competitiveness.
Access to expertise: tap into the specialist knowledge of the service provider.
Scalability: have the flexibility to scale up or down quickly based on business needs. This in turn may allow for faster implementation of projects or services.
Time savings: save time and effort on tasks that are not central to the core company mission and allow internal teams to focus on high-priority tasks.
Risk mitigation: using a specialist provider can help mitigate certain risks and may address compliance challenges associated with certain functions.
Global reach: utilising the service providers international experience can extend your global presence.
Access to technology: service providers often have access to up-to-date technology and tools.
Reduced management burden: using a service provider can reduce the level of oversight required as some of the management is transferred to the provider.

Don't take our word for it
It’s just the entire way that Plume does business. I’ve never felt forgotten, I’ve never felt that someone else is too important, everyone’s so nice and everyone puts in 100% of the effort. Working with Plume is a real pleasure.
Our favourite thing about working with Plume is it doesn’t feel like we’re working with a law firm but rather an extension of our own team. The lawyers have become so embedded in our business, so commercially focussed and so tuned to our risk appetite and way of working
The best thing about working with the Employment team is the prompt guidance and support they have given with sensitive and complex issues. Fiona offers professional and diligent advice as well as being incredibly genuine and encouraging. It is reassuring to know they are on hand to help at all times.
Everyone internally has been incredibly impressed with your work and I'm sure we will want to continue working together long-term.
Plume is quite clearly the best law firm in the history of the universe. With trademark protections bestowed upon us by your godly lawyers, we'll be able to focus on what we do best.... developing awesome medical technology for the blind community.
The corporate team helped us navigate through the sale of our business successfully. I appreciated their expertise and in the negotiations it became very beneficial to have their experience guiding our business decisions. I highly recommend - thanks again guys!
Quickly understood my requirements, carried out a thorough review of the facts and produced a user-friendly reference document tailored to my business which demonstrated a strong grasp of the commercials. Take on was pain-free and everyone was friendly and responsive. Would recommend.
Excellent firm. Professional and ideal for start-ups.
The team have supported us with day-to-day and strategic legal advice throughout the year. We're grateful to them for stepping up to support us through this important milestone in MyTutor’s development and for their commitment in getting the deal over the line.
We currently use Plume for our small business and have had a great experience! They are knowledgeable, professional and answer in a timely fashion. Would recommend!
Great working with the folks at Plume. The quality of their work was top notch, their communication was effective and overall happy with the services provided.
You are without a doubt the COOLEST law firm ever, and we love working with you! <3
They're doing amazing stuff on social media and standing out from the crowd. This is a gold standard in disruption.
You are continuing to shape the legal industry to be more creative, compassionate, and (most significantly) human. Keep breaking down barriers - your reach is further than you may realize 🦩
The team have come on board to support MyTutor, a fast growing EdTech business which previously had no in-house legal resource. The team have made a hugely positive difference in a short space of time and we feel incredibly supported by the team, who offer a commercial, low fuss and highly responsive service
Plume are a wonderful, professional and caring law firm. The communication and attention to detail we received by them in dealing with our case was brilliant. I will definitely be using them again for future needs.
The team provided excellent leadership and support throughout our funding process. In particular, they provided comprehensive ownership and management of the close process for AccelerComm, providing excellent, professional guidance from start to finish and enabling AccelerComm to focus on growing core business growth
