Dear In-House Counsel, In-House counsel and external counsel are to collaborate to create magic. In-house counsel know and understand the nuances of the business. They understand its risk thresholds and its risk management strategies etc. External counsel is generally more specialist in different areas of the law as well as different sector experience that can add value to the In-House Counsel. A few tips to external counsel: 📌be accessible. 📌make the life of in-house counsel easy and support the execution of the project or task. 📌be professional. 📌Please note that your team is being evaluated not just by the legal team, but other internal stakeholders. Sometimes, these stakeholders may have a say in whether your firm is retained for future projects depending on how your performance is perceived. You read that right- perception is reality. External firms that stand tall will be retained on subsequent briefs and those that are deemed irredeemable will be benched.
