ReviewsThis is a must-read book for any CEO or attorney or compliance officer transitioning to an in-house position. It is filled with sage advice and practical vignettes that will keep you from making the common mistakes repeated by many who transition from outside counsel the unchartered waters of the corporate world. It is light and lively, not filled with a lot of technical or legal jargon, but loaded with excellent advice. I highly recommend this author as one who has already learned the lessons of transition to in-house and now shares some of those valuable lessons with you.

His witty and clever words make his advice fun to read and easy to follow, covering the full range topics, from understanding the business of law in a business environment to managing an internal crisis to avoiding landmines and working effectively with colleagues throughout the organization., Making the decision to pursue an in-house counsel position can be a daunting experience, in part because in-house positions are so different from working in a firm and can vary by company and industry.

It not only reveals the unvarnished reality and challenges that in-house face on a daily basis, but it does so entertainingly, with humorous flair. The Corporate Counsel Survival Guide also confirms, to outside counsel, that no in-house counsel actually wants to hire a lawyer. Rather, they want outside counsel who understands the organization's industry, business, and goals.
