Overview for in-house legal departments
Practical Law for in-house legal departments
As an in-house lawyer, you're expected to provide answers on a broad range of legal issues quickly and confidently. However, this isn't always an easy feat, especially when the questions are on areas outside of your expertise. But what if there was a solution that could help?
Practical Law's how-to guides and resources equip you and your team with the practical tools, know-how and insight you need to enhance your role as your organisation's trusted advisers.
"Practical Law offers in-house counsel expertly drafted practice notes and a library of maintained precedents, so that they can quickly get up to speed on new areas of the law or check for recent developments, and provide pragmatic solutions to their business. I'm excited to have a role in shaping the future of this service, as we expand to cover new areas of the law and develop additional functionality to empower in-house counsel and their teams."
