Product description
Provides a concise review of preventive law programs for in-house and outside corporate counsel. Topics include compliance, training, litigation, contracts, and legal audits, and advice on how counsel to both small and large corporations can avoid legal problems through preventive lawyering.
Business Law Monographs, Preventive Law in Corporate Practice, provides a preventive law "tool box" common to all areas of substantive law.
Chapter 1 describes the historical development and benefits of the practice of preventive law. This chapter contains an overview of the historical and theoretical underpinnings of preventive law.
Chapter 2 describes how to avoid legal problems with a compliance program for the company and its employees. The chapter describes the growing use of legal policy statements as a form of "ten commandments" for corporate personnel and reviews a variety of widely used procedures to communicate and enforce the company's commitment to legal compliance.
Chapters 3 through 5 cover programs that carry out or supplement a basic compliance program. Chapter 3 describes how to conduct an employee training program through client seminars, newsletters, and other educational activities.
Chapter 4 describes tactics for controlling litigation risks. Chapter 5 addresses preventive law considerations in the drafting of the company's contracts.
Chapter 6 discusses how to conduct a legal audit. Legal audits are used to monitor adherence to compliance programs. They are a popular tool and serve as an "early warning system" for legal problems.
Chapter 7 discusses a variety of techniques for organizing the law department for the practice of preventive law, including strategic planning, office visits, law department brochures, and annual reviews with management.
Chapter 8 introduces and discusses the emerging area of cyber law, including a brief history of e-mail, e-commerce, electronic media discovery, misappropriation and misuse of corporate electronic resources, and a guide for the development of a corporate counsel legal research intranet.
Chapter 9, the final chapter in the monograph, is a brief summary and conclusion on the practice of preventive law in corporate law departments.
The Forms segment of the monograph includes a variety of materials used by law departments of large corporations: corporate policy statements, communications to managers and employees, legal education materials, alternative dispute resolution documents, and legal audit questionnaires.
With a great deal of variation in the legal environment of each corporation, Business Law Monographs, Preventive Law in Corporate Practice, is set up for corporate counsel to use many of the suggestions in the monograph to improve the preventive practices of their client.
