Why should enterprises hire professional legal counsel?

Legal adviser is a specific position held by an enterprise in order to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests and hire a lawyer to provide legal help on enterprise management issues. There are generally two kinds of corporate legal advisers, namely perennial legal advisers and special legal advisers. The perennial legal counsel signs a legal counsel agreement with the enterprise to handle all legal affairs of the enterprise within the agreed time limit (generally 1 year or above). This kind of legal adviser has a wide range of services and a long time, so it is called perennial legal adviser. The legal adviser relationship ends with the expiration of the agreement. If you continue to hire, you need to sign a new agreement. An enterprise hires a specialized legal adviser to handle a legal matter, and the legal adviser relationship ends when the legal matter is handled, which is generally not limited by time, so it is also called temporary legal adviser or short-term legal adviser. At present, most enterprises employ perennial legal advisers, because they can provide all-round legal help for their production, operation and management activities. Most enterprises have hired perennial legal advisers, especially some large enterprises, but most enterprises only focus on debt collection and litigation, that is, litigation, and even ignore the role of legal advisers when signing contracts. In fact, besides litigation, an excellent lawyer can do a lot for enterprises, which is still very important for enterprises. Specifically, there are many ways for legal advisers to serve companies and enterprises, such as: providing legal opinions and legal basis for major business decision-making plans of enterprises, proposing feasibility arguments from a legal perspective, and avoiding legal risks in business operations; Drafting, revising and reviewing various contracts, agreements and other relevant legal affairs documents of companies and enterprises; Issue a lawyer's statement or lawyer's letter for some incidents that infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises; China enterprises participate in civil, economic and administrative litigation, arbitration and administrative reconsideration to effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises; Participate in non-litigation legal affairs of enterprises; Participate in the negotiation of enterprise economic projects, review or prepare all kinds of legal documents needed for negotiation; Conduct legal education and legal training within the enterprise; Cooperate with the human resources department of the enterprise to do a good job in labor and personnel work, draft and review labor contracts and confidentiality agreements, and carry out dismissal design.
