Nothing comforts a lawyer in the zealous representation of a client like knowing (or at least believing) that his or her client is in the right. Knowing you reside with the better angels in a dispute makes your representation of that client so much easier.
Attorneys in private practice have the luxury of picking their clients and routinely decide which cases to take based on the behavior of clients and the righteousness of the client’s position. For in-house counsel, the situation is more precarious. They have but one client—a client they may have picked years ago, and sometimes a client whose management and corporate culture changed years after they made that pick. These in-house attorneys can face a potentially career-altering decision when they discover that their one and only client, the corporation, has done something seriously wrong.
