5 Keys to Successful Virtual In-House Counsel
- Executive Communication: Scope of responsibilities, authority, and budget need to be clearly communicated with a regular feedback loop
- Issue and Budget Tracking: Legal issues need to be identified, prioritized, and managed for business ROI
- Relationships: The attorney must get to know the executive team and be a familiar name and face to employees
- Business Knowledge: The attorney must actively understand the business, products, operations, strategy, and key stakeholders (customers, investors, suppliers)
- Availability: The attorney must be accessible through multiple channels, including on-site or remote office hours, without “per contact” costs that discourage casual inquiries
