Inhouse & Internal Lawyer
What is an Inhouse Lawyer
In general, attorneys and other legal experts can be broken down into two camps defined by the companies they work for. In contrast to lawyers who work for a law firm or private practice and make their living by representing several clients, in-house counsel performs legal services directly for their business.
Although all in-house legal counsel is lawyers by profession, the duties of in-house legal counsel can vary widely from one company to the next. An In-House Counsel might be one of 30 attorneys at a multinational corporation or the lone legal adviser at a fledgling fintech company since businesses of all sizes and industries need legal counsel and risk management.
What is Internal Lawyer
An internal lawyer advises firms and individuals on legal matters. Their key responsibilities include drafting resolutions to conflicts, assisting clients with legal matters, and analyzing contracts and other legal documents.
Internal lawyers analyze and negotiate agreements between clients and their suppliers, contractors, and other business partners. Furthermore, they are primarily responsible for the following:
- Offering support to the Board of Directors in carrying out the overall strategic objectives and operational goals of the company
- Delivering services on schedule and keeping customers apprised of developments and fees
- Conducting oneself following the Solicitors Regulation Authority’s Code of Professional Conduct when providing legal services.
- Creating methods to meet or exceed the standards set by competitors and meeting the needs of customers in a satisfactory manner
- Community outreach and word-of-mouth advertising
- Consistently putting the client’s interests first and making sound, beneficial decisions
The Benefit of Having an Inhouse & Internal Lawyer
It's easy to become sidetracked in the day-to-day operations of a company when your coworkers would greatly appreciate your assistance or advice on crucial legal topics. You could even be in charge of handling communications with your private attorney, a task that can consume a lot of your time and needs you to be "in the know" about any legal issues about your company.
An in-house lawyer can efficiently manage legal issues for a company and decide which ones are best handled by an outside legal expert, all while handling related communications. The in-house lawyer can also save money and time by efficiently managing the company's legal expenses.
We're not saying a private attorney doesn't care about what's best for you. Indeed, an outside attorney is as qualified, but they won't have as much familiarity with the inner workings of your company. There will be several clients competing for your lawyer's attention and resources.
An in-house lawyer can look out for your company's interests first and foremost, anticipating and resolving legal issues before they ever become problems.
You need to hire an attorney to work in-house to expand and improve your company. When making important business choices, having an attorney on staff can help you avoid taking on needless risk or exposure.
Because of their legal understanding and familiarity with your company, your in-house counsel is in the ideal position to assist you in achieving your goals.
