In-house legal departments are doing more of their own work and relying less on outside counsel, the Association of Corporate Counsel finds in its ACC 2011 Census Report, released March 28.
According to the report, based on survey information collected in April and May 2011, only 20 percent of the in-house lawyers who participated in the survey used outside counsel for tax work in 2011, compared to 30 percent in 2006, when the last Census Report was conducted, and 31 percent in 2004, when the Washington, D.C.-based organization did a smaller survey.
