In-house Counsel Secondments

Botkin Chiarello Calaf's partners can be engaged by clients as seconded in-house counsel when internal legal organizations need to temporarily augment their in-house team. We have first-hand knowledge of the demands placed on in-house counsel and internal legal departments. We also understand business objectives, business realities, and speak the same language as our business partners. From serving as interim General Counsel of a publicly traded corporation, to managing a client’s high-stakes litigation docket, to working day-to-day with executives as outside general counsel, Botkin Chiarello Calaf's partners are as comfortable working inside our clients’ organizations as we are representing them as outside counsel. Because of our familiarity, we are uniquely situated to step in as seconded in-house counsel regardless of whether the need or transition was planned. Unlike larger firms, where a typical secondment involves a junior lawyer, when a Botkin Chiarello Calaf partner is engaged for a secondment, they both add value and bring a wealth of experience.
