Global Capability Centers

As more organizations expand their operations worldwide, global capability centers (GCCs) have emerged as strategic hubs—driving innovation and talent development, optimizing costs, and enabling operational excellence and business continuity. But building a GCC isn’t just about infrastructure and talent. It requires careful navigation of complex legal, regulatory, and compliance landscapes. We combine deep legal knowledge with a practical understanding of cross-border business operations to support our clients in establishing and scaling GCCs. 

From structuring entities, through selecting and appointing the right GCC service providers, to navigating compliance across jurisdictions, we act as your strategic partner. We work with clients across industries—including financial services, life sciences, healthcare, automotive, retail, technology, and insurance—to establish, expand, and optimize their GCC presence in key markets.

We support the establishment of offshore centers around the globe, including India, the Philippines, nearshore Europe, Latin America, and elsewhere, providing clients with market-specific knowledge and capabilities.

Our team includes a dedicated group of lawyers who focus on GCC engagements including leaders in the field who are consistently ranked among the top outsourcing lawyers globally in Chambers and The Legal 500.

Tech & Sourcing Webinar Series: Navigating the Global Landscape Through Innovation

Our team assists clients in structuring and implementing GCC assist models, including assisted build-out (ABO) and “as a service” models, providing comprehensive legal and strategic support throughout each stage of the process. We coordinate with specialists and local counsel to help companies carefully plan and execute their GCC vision.

We assist clients in designing BOT structures that enable rapid operational ramp-up while preserving flexibility. We help develop and negotiate the BOT agreements—covering the build, operate, and transfer phases—as well as advising on governance, performance metrics, and the commercial and legal mechanisms for the eventual transfer.

We offer support throughout the lifecycle of outsource and transfer, and in some cases on multiple cycles of outsource, transfer, and outsource again, as business needs and priorities change over time. Our knowledge helps our clients get their deals negotiated within tight time frames and on budget.
