Description: In recent years, the role of the in-house counsel has evolved dramatically. The corporate scandals at the turn of the century propelled a wave of regulatory and legislative initiatives to deter such misconduct. Many of the new rules target the in-house counsel, and add the role of "gatekeeper" to their already long list of duties and responsibilities. This sudden re-writing of the role of in-house counsel had caught many off-guard, and the sheer number of new rules and regulations are extremely difficult to harness. This InfoPAK, sponsored by Steptoe and Johnson LLP ,will serve as an introductory guide to the new legal order that in-house counsel must follow.
