Why is it important for a business to have access, or be willing to consult with more than one lawyer?
Businesses may need corporate counsel to assist with running their every day business issues, but in general, corporate counsel are not often litigation experts, so a business should be ready to hire a litigation expert, or an expert in any type of law that in-house counsel are not familiar with, to get advice about how to mitigate risk or engage in damage control.
Businesses should spend as much money as possible on lawyers because it makes the business seem important.
Actually, business should rely only on in-house counsel. They are on payroll and it should be their responsibility to take care of the business’s legal matters.
Law firms are only necessary if a business employee commits a crime on the job, and otherwise, corporate or in house counsel are sufficient.
