TL: What percentage of legal work is handled by your department versus outside counsel? Has that ratio changed in recent years?
Jamba Juice: The majority of Jamba’s legal work is done internally by our legal department compared to utilizing outside counsel. The exception to this primarily relates to corporate governance and legal proceedings. Over the past three to four years, we have internalized the majority of our real estate and marketing work, including review of leases and subleases, as well as advertising, creative artwork and sweepstakes materials. As a result, we have increased our internal legal team to include a lease administrator and corporate paralegal.
