Recognized outsourcing expert Robert Finkel in New York is the standout practitioner, and he continues to act as a key adviser to large corporations and financial institutions in complex domestic and cross-border transactions .Ariel Soiffer in Boston is well-versed in ITO and BPO deals, notably those involving call centers, manufacturing, and logistics. His experience also encompasses AI, IP, privacy issues, and cybersecurity.
