Details

Instead of running your own practice, or associating with a firm where law is the business, corporate lawyers become an operational and managerial resource within a company where "law" is a supporting element of the business. Client interaction is not event-driven; it is constant, usually diverse, and it is subservient to a greater goal: the business of the business.

To be good at this distinct form of legal practice, a lawyer must understand the basics which underpin the role of practicing as a corporate lawyer. The objective of Corporate Counsel Guides: Practice Basics is to help illuminate those underpinnings--to identify, develop, and discuss strategies for acclimating to this unique area of law:

+ Defining Your Role
+ Core Underpinnings
+ Starting Your Job
+ The Legal Department
+ Areas of Practice
+ Risk Management
+ Resources

This book is devised to be a beginning and a framework for a long-lasting career and client relationship. Practice Basics is a concise and rigorous primer for practicing law as general counsel.

Practice Basics is part of ABA Publishing's Corporate Counsel Guides series, a collection of titles aimed at new in-house counsel getting acclimated to the role of a business general practitioner who needs to know a little bit about everything that might cross their desk.

These books are not exhaustive treatises on each topic, but quick, easy reads that will give you a complete overview of the subject, introduce you to the most common and pressing issues, and point you toward more information when necessary.

Steven L. Lovett is a senior attorney with the Carrillo Law Firm, P.C.,in Las Cruces, New Mexico. He is also an adjunct professor of business law and ethics at the University of Texas at El Paso's College of Business Administration. He lives in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
