"We have saved clients millions in their back office operations, while also training, motivating and incentivizing their office services teams to take hospitality and care to the next level."

Good Morning Folks,

I invite you to consider today’s economic malaise where unemployment is high and consumers and businesses keep their pocket books mostly closed. 

Businesses too have undergone massive cost cutting. 

There have been massive layoffs as organizations have cut headcount to the bone. 

Businesses and their employees are working in a much leaner environment than they were ten years ago.

Yet work needs to get done and profits need to be higher.

That’s where Onsite Outsourcing comes in. By partnering with FSO, outsourcing can become a leverage that can help use new resources for new projects and help drive revenue growth.

Good Morning Folks,

What Have We Done For Law Firms Lately?
  
At Weitz and  Luxenberg:
Turning a expense burden into a profit center: We recently completed the largest and most successful document conversion in the New York area, migrating over 35 million pages to electronic format. Savings come not just from eliminating each $900 lateral file, but also from freeing up Class A office space formerly used to store paper in order to be sub-leased for millions of dollars per year.

For another large law firm:
A reduction of the  record's department's real estate footprint from just over 26,00 sqf down to 9,500 sqf, thus providing the firm with cost-savings close to 50k annually, Cross-training of the entire records staff to improve efficiency and coverage needs, the destruction of 2,400 boxes and another 15,00 sent to offsite storage, a floor by floor audit and clean-up of all eight of the firm's floors in Newark, and the list goes on and on.
  
Can your incumbent do this?

What Customers Are Saying:

“They saw that our business is changing and actually came to us with suggestions on how to reduce costs.”

“Outsourcing to FSO frees us to leverage our core competencies.”

“Supply costs, headcount, workflow, equipment utilization and configuration — they’ve strategically explored options and (re)IMAGINED our operation from top to bottom.”

“People show up and work gets done. The front desk changed to outsourced model and is very successful.”

“They are like proactive, like a breath of fresh air. They’re well dressed, presentable and… cheaper!”

“Since shifting from in-house to outsourcing the cost is better and performance has improved”

“We are convinced the did the right thing and picked the right company. Things are getting done that were overlooked before. Now we have the manpower and expertise that was lacking and, as a result, improvements are being made all the time.”

Throw Back Thursday: Court Attire

"In Europe, a man in a white wig stands in the centre of a crowded courtroom, his. The biggest influence exercised by defence lawyers on trials. Those wigs don't come cheap: Lawyers can earn £1,000 from the taxpayer even for cases which are rejected outright at the first hurdle."

Good Morning Folks,

I am often asked why the Silicon Valley workers get a pass and have made casual Fridays (even hoodies, shorts and skate boards) standard attire, while those of us working in New York still dress up?

We'll if you think it's bad here, you should see the courts in Britain, a style of address we adapted in the United Stated, thankfully only briefly.

Here's a throw back this Thursday via WikiPedia:

Judicial court dress[edit]

Group photo of United States Supreme Court Justices from 2009. Optional formal dress can be seen under the robes, such as bow ties. Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg also wear lace jabots

During the early history of the United States, the court dress of judges and practicing lawyers closely mirrored British court dress of the 18th century; both wore white powdered wigs and (typically) black robes in the lower courts, and in the higher ones, judges would wear red with black markings. The practice fell out of favor and died out by the mid-nineteenth century.

Today, generally judges of both state and federal courts are free to select their own courtroom attire. The most common choice is a plain black robe which covers the torso and legs, with sleeves. Female judges will sometimes add to the robe a plain white collar or lace jabot. Beneath the robes business attire is standard.

Until the tenure of Chief Justice John Marshall, all Supreme Court justices wore red robes with ermine trim and full-bottomed wigs, reminiscent of British court dress. Marshall, however, eschewed this formality and began the practice of only wearing a black silk robe, with no wig. In 1994, Chief Justice William Rehnquistadded four gold bars (similar in appearance to captain insignia in the US Navy) to each sleeve of his black robe, but the change in his attire (he had been Chief Justice since 1986) was his own innovation and was inspired by a production of the operetta Iolanthe, rather than any historical precedent. His successor, John G. Roberts, chose to stick with the traditional plain black robe.

Some Supreme Court justices (including Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, and Stephen Breyer) maintain the ancient legal practice of wearing large black skullcaps, in their case when wearing their robes outdoors in cold weather (for example, at presidential inaugurations in January.)

Many state supreme court justices wear unique styles of robes, the most notable being the Maryland Court of Appeals, where all judges wear red, and British-style tab collars. The judges of the Delaware Superior Court continue to wear the red sashes or baldrics of their British predecessors, albeit now only on ceremonial occasions.

Some judges eschew special dress entirely and preside over their courts in normal business wear. This is often seen among administrative law judges who preside over relatively informal administrative hearings.

Attorney court dress[edit]

Lawyers wear normal business attire in courts of all levels. During the second-wave feminism movement in the 1970s, some judges forbade female attorneys from wearing trousers when appearing in court, but pantsuits are now widely accepted. Like judges, American attorneys do not wear wigs.

Until the 1970s, morning dress was required of all attorneys appearing before the United States Supreme Court by the Court's rules. Even after the Court abolished the requirement, the Office of the Solicitor General maintained the practice. When the Solicitor General (or any of the deputies) appears before the U.S. Supreme Court, he wears morning dress, with striped trousers, grey ascot, waistcoat, and a cutaway morning coat.^[9] A feminized version is sometimes worn by female deputies, which consists of the same garments tailored to female measurements. Former Solicitor General Elena Kagan, the only woman to hold the office to date, appeared before the Court in pantsuits in lieu of morning dress. The traditional female equivalent of morning dress (a formal gown) is strictly for social purposes, so it would be inappropriate attire for appearances before the nation's highest court.^{[10][broken citation]} The Court's Marshal and Clerk of both genders also wear morning dress when the Court is in session.

I wonder what our kids will be saying about the way we dress for court and to call on lawyers and bankers twenty years from now?

FSO USA is going to dominate the USA. And we cannot do it without you. So Inspire your teams. And help me light up the nation. 

Thanks for reading. Thanks for believing. And thanks for being here. 

Have a GREAT Day. Love Life.

I'll be a seeing you soon.

Law Firms: What If Gordon Gekko Bought Your Outsourcing Partner?

"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works." ~~Gordon Gekko

Good Morning Folks,

In 2008, Gordon Gekko, (the fictional character and main antagonist of the 1987 film Wall Street and the antihero of its 2010 sequel Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps), was named the fourth richest fictional character by Forbes who attributed US$8.5 billion net worth to him.

 

There is a difference between a Gordon Gekko kind of "investor" who buys an outsourcing company as short investment hold with a hidden agenda, versus a "hands-on" private owner with a long-term commitment with a people and service focus.

Especially in the legal industry when when the results of the 2013 Chief Legal Officers survey showed that firms need greater cost reduction (52%) and more efficient project management (52%). 

Isn't that why you outsourced your back offices services to begin with? 

You could cut expenses to the bone and fire "non-essential" staff and associates. Oh wait, you probably already did that. You could slash your own compensation, but I don't see too many lawyers lining up to volunteer for that option. Or you could learn to become more efficient, by applying legal project management aka. Outsourcing as it should be.

At FSO, We make law firms more profitable, efficient, productive and competitive by taking over and running their back office services with proprietary formulas and technology.

FSO has a great offering which would help your firm improve service, reduce cost and take care of people.

By coming in and (re) IMAGINING your whole operation from the bottom up to the inside out, we can deliver an unduplicated client and employee experience so you stay relevant and don’t get outsmarted by competitors with new technologies and different ideas. 

Get the security of knowing your onsite outsourcing provider is truly delivering ongoing cost saving & proven best practices and out to make you rich and famous, not the Gekko way which is the other way around.

Call me directly at 212.204.1193 and I will be glad to speak with you personally. 

Have a GREAT DAY as I look forward to seeing all of you soon.
