Butterworths In House Lawyers' Handbook is the first and only text to bring together all the practical guidance, precedents, expert commentary and key source material for the in-house law department.

In-house lawyers in all types of institutions will benefit from the insights Ian Jones’ commentary provides. The book covers all the key planks of the internal legal advisors’ role, from managing a legal team to handling the procurement process.
