Inside Counsel provides a wide-ranging account of in-house law practice. The book serves as a valuable resource for many audiences – law students, in-house counsel, those who are contemplating going in-house, and even outside lawyers. Relying on their collective decades of practical and academic experience, the authors offer key insights into such important topics as successful strategies that in-house counsel can implement, interfacing with “internal clients,” working with outside counsel, the focus on “preventative” law, the skill sets that are valued by corporate counsel, and the steps that an outside lawyer or recent graduate can take to obtain an in-house position.
