In-house lawyers help a company deal with risk, or more pertinently, the consequences of risks badly taken. But proactive/appreciated in-house lawyers do not just deal the legal wreckage of strategic mistakes made by the board, but they also involve themselves in the strategic thinking of the company in respect to risk management.
