Description

Corporate Counsel Guides: Practice Basics Steven L Lovett ISBN 9781614388289

Rather than operating an independent practice or working within a law firm where legal services are the core business, corporate lawyers serve as operational and strategic resources inside an organization where the law supports broader business objectives. Client interaction is ongoing rather than event-driven, wide-ranging in scope, and always aligned with a primary goal: advancing the company’s business. Success in this distinct form of legal practice requires a solid understanding of the fundamentals that define the in-house counsel role.

Corporate Counsel Guides: Practice Basics is designed to clarify those foundations by identifying, developing, and exploring strategies for transitioning into and thriving in this unique area of law. Key topics include:

  • Defining the in-house counsel role

  • Core professional foundations

  • Starting your position effectively

  • Understanding the legal department’s function

  • Common areas of practice

  • Risk management tools and resources

This book is intended as both an introduction and a long-term framework for building a successful in-house career and strong client relationships. Practice Basics serves as a concise yet rigorous primer for lawyers practicing as general counsel.

As part of ABA Publishing’s Corporate Counsel Guides series, this title is aimed at new in-house lawyers adjusting to the role of a business generalist—one who must be prepared to address a wide variety of legal issues. These guides are not exhaustive treatises, but practical, accessible resources that provide a comprehensive overview, highlight the most common and urgent concerns, and direct readers to additional sources when deeper knowledge is needed.
