The Developing Role of Corporate Counsel in the Company, and Its Evolving Effects on the Outside Counsel Relationship

Are outside counsel relationships still important in an era when in-house budgets for outside counsel are decreasing, in-house teams are turning into mini-firms, and alternative service providers are offering a new value proposition? How do corporate counsel feel about keeping these relationships intact while the in-house department evolves, and what can outside counsel do to stay relevant and deliver value for a changing legal world? Hear from in-house lawyers about how they see billing changing, what they want in project management, how new relationships play into assignments to outside counsel, and what you can do to better position your firm for these and other changes.
