External Law Firms; Compliance Consultants
While able to undertake most of its clients’ day to day matters in-house and manage a business’s overall legal function, a General Counsel should not be seen as a replacement for a client’s external legal advisors and/or compliance consultants.
-
Technical and Detailed Input
External legal advisors and/or compliance consultants are uniquely qualified and resourced to carry out the legal and regulatory ‘heavy-lifting’ required at certain key points of a business’s evolution. They also provide the highly detailed and technical legal, regulatory and tax advice that is periodically required.
