About This Course
This fascinating CLE course focuses on an oft-ignored but critical aspect of practicing law: the relationship between in-house and outside counsel.

Informative and instructive, the course not only covers the basics of developing synergy between attorneys but also delves into the specifics for making a relationship more effective and, thereby, more valuable and successful. Topics covered will include the appropriate content for retention letters, proper billing, effective communication, bringing value to a company as outside counsel, networking with in-house attorneys to attract business and relationship building strategies.
