Who does EMC Corp. turn to when it needs aggressive representation and whip-smart counsel that knows the company inside and out? Itself. The Hopkinton, Mass., technology company has a team of 103 lawyers operating under a strategy of self-reliance. And it's working. With general counsel Paul Dacier leading the legal department, the publicly traded $20 billion corporation recently grabbed major defense wins in patent cases, has orchestrated innovative deals and has taken on key thought leadership positions in Boston's legal community. For those reasons and more, EMC is The National Law Journal's Legal Department of the Year in the Boston area.

Mainly, it's an inside job at EMC. Handling the bulk of the work internally and closely guiding outside counsel in its supporting role is the only way Dacier knows how to do business.
