The Many Hats of a Corporate Attorney

by | Aug 4, 2014 | Lawyers

Managing a corporation comes with many concerns. One of those concerns is the possible legal problems that can often plague such businesses. If you are one of the heads of a corporation, you will most likely employ a Corporate Attorney. Having the services of a corporate lawyer provide multiple benefits for the corporations who hire them, as the attorneys learn “to wear many hats.”

When a graduating legal counselor decides to become a corporate lawyer, he or she can opt to work for a corporation as its legal counsel, also known as an “in-house attorney;” or he or she can work in a law firm and represent a corporation on an “as-needed” basis. Either way, the responsibilities of a Corporate Attorney are manifold. Quite often, the corporate counsel does not work alone, but as part of a team representing the corporation. The corporate attorney team handles all types of legal business for their organization such as contracts and criminal or civil defense should the corporation be brought into court. Corporate lawyers spend a great deal of their time going over contracts with a “fine-toothed comb” in order to ensure their client’s best interest remain at heart in all business dealings. Corporate lawyers also spend time dealing with the tax liabilities a corporation may face, working most likely with the accounting team to ensure records are accurate. The corporate lawyer will always make certain that the corporation is in compliance with governmental regulations or following business ethics.

It is in the best interest of corporations to employ a law firm that will help to minimize any risks they may incur while maximizing their profits.
