Abstract

We have gained some sense of the legal content of the in-house lawyer’s role in the last chapter. Clearly most in-house lawyers carry out functions which are similar to those of lawyers in the profession generally, particularly those concerned with the technical matters of legal work — drafting contracts, servicing property transactions, drawing up appropriate documentation when initiating or responding to legal actions. Equally, the need to advise clients of whether a course of action is legally feasible or advisable is common to both groups of lawyers. However, the organisational setting of the in-house lawyer creates distinctive opportunities and choices in the area of the delivery or management or style of legal services. Indeed, such choices may move beyond questions merely concerned with the organisation of legal work, to shade into differences of substance between in-house and outside professional practice.
