With the business landscape undergoing constant and sometimes unpredictable change, in-house counsel are expected to drive value and stability and act as business partners, not just legal advisers.

Innovative law firms can support in-house counsel by working in concert to develop fresh strategies to meet their clients' business goals. Firms must be partners who can think through the unexpected outcomes and inevitable changes that come with crises such as COVID-19, and they must support legal departments that find themselves strapped for resources while facing novel issues.

At Hogan Lovells, we drive innovation through frequent communication with our clients about what they need and value in outside counsel. With all hands on deck, we're developing new ways to support our clients meaningfully and creatively as we support efforts to battle the COVID-19 pandemic together.
