References to “team” are everywhere in corporate America, but you rarely hear about legal teams. Why is that? It starts with law school. You need the best grades to get on the law review or obtain that Wall Street job. And then the weeding out process begins the moment you join a law firm. In a firm you are judged on initiative and volume; not whether you are a team player.
It’s different in a corporate setting. Budgets are tight, business demands are growing and legal issues are becoming more complex. One way to ease the burden is to use your staff more effectively by investing in team building.
