Corporate attorneys are licensed legal professionals that provide general legal counsel to their clients, which are typically corporations. They provide sound legal advice and direction to help them avoid legal risks and regulatory violations in all business transactions. They evaluate legal rights and risks of various company structures, perform complex legal research and due diligence, and evaluate current and new projects and partnerships for potential legal issues. They draft, modify, and review legal documents and negotiate on the clients’ behalf to secure deals that are favorable for them. They also represent clients in legal proceedings and litigation when necessary. Corporate attorneys oversee and delegate tasks to support staff, and typically work in an office environment for private and public companies, or for a corporate law firm.
