MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., January 24, 2002 — A new resource tailored to the needs of corporate counsel is now available on FindLaw, the Internet’s leading legal Web site and the Web’s largest community of corporate counsel. The FindLaw Corporate Counsel Center is a one-stop resource for industry-specific news and commentary, business intelligence and powerful timesaving tools to help attorneys in corporate legal departments find the right information and the right outside counsel needed to manage the legal and regulatory side of business.
The Corporate Counsel Center serves up information by industry, such as financial services, technology and health care, and by practice area, including tax, intellectual property and labor law. Each area offers current news, a library and links to associations, government resources and content on Westlaw®, all related to the selected industry or practice area.
