Abstract:
In this expanding global sustainability era, the role of the lawyer has expanded as well; and therefore, an attorney’s involvement in the day-to-day operations of an enterprise requires diversified skills. Lawyers must be able to turn around immediate advice and grasp all facts, in addition to obtaining full knowledge of operations and goals of the enterprise to give effective and comprehensive legal and business advice.
This paper gives an overview of the requisite skills in this era and provides a look at the modern lawyer’s role in any organization to maximize profits and minimize liabilities in the next generation.
