The challenge for most legal departments today is daunting: Do it more, do it quickly, do it with fewer in-house staff, and, above all, keep costs down. Many law departments have come to appreciate that the cultivation of a staff of nonlawyers is as important-if not more important-than staffing corridors of offices full of JDs with sterling credentials. It's a lot less expensive, too.

Does your external counsel ever come across as disconnected? Many law firms desire a deeper understanding of their clients' business operations, structure and ways of working. Many businesses, in turn, wish that their external counsel had a clearer appreciation for the issues impacting their operations, were up to speed with their current business activities and initiatives, and were more closely attuned to their corporate culture. Introducing a secondment program is a great way to achieve many of these goals.

Failure to discover that your company may have had insurance coverage could cost your company. You must make it clear who is responsible for seeking insurance coverage and dealing with your insurance coverage issues: in-house counsel, outside defense counsel, or outside coverage counsel. The best place to allocate those responsibilities is in your company's engagement letters and guidelines for working with outside counsel. Thus, in selecting a law firm to defend a case, it is critical to determine whether that firm has sufficient insurance coverage experience. If it does not, it is advisable to retain separate coverage counsel early on.
