It is a question that corporate counsel may have to ask themselves sooner rather than later. Dedicated legal social networking sites are already being created by firms and in-house teams, but as yet only Legal OnRamp, launched by US tech company Qulas at the behest of a group of nine bluechip companies led by Cisco general counsel Mark Chandler, has brought the two sides of the profession together.
