Corporate Counsel Guidelines (ACC)

This publication reviews general principles unique to corporate counsel and applies them to possible real-life situations. A joint project of Thomson West and the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC), it is broadly divided into eight separate sections—attorney-client privilege and in-house corporate counsel, work-product doctrine and in-house corporate counsel, ethical issues for inside counsel, overseeing civil litigation, overseeing corporate criminal investigations and litigation, individual rights and liabilities of corporate counsel, certification and recordkeeping obligations under Sarbanes-Oxley, and inside counsel's Sarbanes-Oxley primer. A step-by-step chapter format surveys an entire topic, explains the specific controlling legal principles, and shows how to implement rules.
