They handle various legal matters and ensure the organization's compliance with laws and regulations. Their responsibilities include drafting and reviewing contracts, providing legal opinions on business decisions, advising on employment matters, managing legal disputes, and conducting legal research. In-house legal counselors also collaborate with external legal counsel, monitor changes in laws and regulations, and develop policies and procedures to mitigate legal risks.
