Analysis

Question: what is the role of legal counsel?

The main role of legal counsel includes managing legal risks associated to the company’s operations. Moreover, the legal counsel should also demonstrate additional values for CEO and other managers. Keeping in view the company’s problem and its environment, the legal counsel should suggest company to make strategies to be in a legal bound. If it would be exposed that managers have exploited privacy rules and have read the personal chat of employees, it would create a legal problem foe manager as well as the company. Therefore, here the managers should contact the legal counsel before taking any step against employees. Moreover, the legal counsels should help the company to prevent them from facing any legal problems and all laws should be made visible by the legal counsel. In addition, the legal counsel should aware the managers about the loopholes from which company can get benefit and use laws in favor of managers and can take any step against evil employees.(Chayes)
