//April 10, 2013
Asked: Our weekly question to the In-House community
IBM’s general counsel Robert Weber is saying he has a list of 10 law firms and 10 attorneys he refuses to hire as outside counsel. He calls it “The List.”
Weber’s turn-offs include: attorneys who ask executives at the company for legal work; firms that violate professional ethics; and firms who send cold pitch letters when a corporation is sued.
