The Great Debate: What Makes a Winning Relationship?
What really makes a firm a trusted adviser of choice? What makes a dream client? Understanding, open communications and expertise are non-negotiable requirements. So what else drives successful in-house/law firm relationships and why are they so hard to find? Two senior in-house counsel and two outside lawyers--all with strong points of view--debate what it takes.
