Description
YoungLawyersMultinational companies often need to team up with external counsel to address the complex issues that arise in today’s modern economy. A solid working relationship between in-house counsel and law firms can be a crucial element for a company’s long-term success. When is external counsel needed? How are they selected? What do in-house counsel expect from the law firms they hire? What kind of billing arrangements, training, and communication requirements facilitate a smooth working relationship? How do both sides view the pros and cons of secondments? What are hot topics in this area (e.g., cross-border data privacy, corruption prevention efforts, cultural differences, ethics, etc.)? This panel of corporate counsel, government lawyers, and law firm attorneys will provide insights on these questions.
