LAWYER BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT concludes with a discussion of some additional tactics in-house counsel will appreciate. And they present opportunities for lawyers marketing or expanding client relationships to enhance the future. First, offer to be a speaker or co-speaker with the client at a client association.

  • Understanding the Potential Pitfalls Arising From Participation in Standards Bodies
    Chances are that if your company is involved in research and development of new technology there is a standards setting organization exploring the potential standardization of such technology. While there are clear benefits to participation in standards organizations — keeping abreast of industry developments, targeting product development toward standard compliant products, steering research and intellectual property protection into potential areas of future standardization — such participation does not come without certain risks. Whether you are in-house counsel or outside counsel, you may be called upon to advise participants in standard-setting bodies about intellectual property issues or to participate yourself.
