Legal Departments and Law Firms
The International Association of Defense Counsel (IADC) recently conducted its 2015 Inside/Outside Counsel Relationship Survey in order to gain a better understanding of the relationship between lawyers in corporate legal departments and lawyers in law firms. IADC's membership is composed of both inside and outside counsel, and IADC works to provide resources that foster the relationship between the inside and outside counsel teams.
The results from the report revealed that while legal departments and law firms work toward many common goals, they have inconsistent views of their relationship in key areas such as the amount of work expected to be referred to outside counsel, costs, and methods and means of communication. With insight from 386 corporate in-house attorneys and 303 law firm attorneys, the findings, published in June 2015, are relevant to all those corporate and outside counsel who seek to understand more fully each other's perceptions and realities in order to maintain better working relationships.
