How important is choosing to work with external lawyers who align with your company’s values? Are you likely to reconsider what firms you work with based on this?

External legal counsel can help organisations with specific and specialised issues while providing support in strategic decision making.

In-house lawyers must actively engage in the conception and in the process of building a new business venture. Partnership and ownership should be the most valuable qualities of an in-house legal department.
