What a Counsel does
Attorneys holding the title counsel most often work in-house in a company's legal department, though law firms use it too. They advise the business on legal risk, draft and negotiate agreements, and handle matters in an assigned area such as commercial contracts, employment, privacy or product. The title usually signals several years of experience and independent handling of matters.
