Some private attorneys remain cautious. Says Gregg Kirchhoefer, a partner in the Chicago office of Kirkland & Ellis: "We don't do, haven't done and don't plan on doing this. The name of the game for us is quality." Daly, the law-school dean, says an ethical breach is only a matter of time. "We haven't seen any documented problems crop up yet, but I'm sure they're there," she says. "We've certainly seen problems on the domestic side. It would be foolish to assume they're not on the global side as well." It would also be foolish to assume that the outsourcing trend in law is anything but robust.
