I've always assumed this to be the case, however, I would have thought that some things would stay within the organization, if only because it might help expedite while also being cheaper. Immigration, for example, I would have thought would be an in-house position.
I also assumed things like tax and intellectual property would be handled outside of the organization to best mobilize the right people in what I think are often more complex legal wranglings.
