Increasingly, business organizations are turning to outsourced solutions for key functions such as information technology, human resources, R&D, customer service, and others in an effort to meet strategic goals, focus resources on core business activities, increase business model flexibility, lower costs, and gain access to specialized technical expertise from outsourcing vendors. Led by members of our technology and licensing group, Holland & Hart's outsourcing attorneys have the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to effectively represent clients in virtually all aspects of outsourcing and offshoring transactions. We counsel our clients from the initial planning of the RFP through vendor selection, contract structuring and negotiation, and following closing, contract and vendor management.

Recently, we served as counsel to a Denver-based mining company with a global IT infrastructure and services outsourcing transaction, represented a U.S. energy distribution company with a domestic IT infrastructure and services outsourcing deal, and assisted two Denver-based corporations with HR services outsourcing transactions.
We work closely with our clients, their internal subject matter experts, and their outsourcing consultants to carefully tailor each transaction to meet their specific goals. We counsel and assist our clients in an effort to reach a business arrangement where responsibilities are clear, risks and rewards are shared, and both the contract and relationship are easy to manage.
