Most of the material on this blog comes from US law departments and has their perspective, but insights and examples of practices have come from all over the globe.
I have presented material on management from at least eleven countries: Australia (July 4, 2006, June 16, 2006 and June 30, 2006); Canada (May 10, 2006); China (June 13, 2006 about Haier; and July 30, 2006 on size and spend of law departments’ size); France ( Aug. 26, 2006 on size of largest departments); Ireland (June 16, 2006 and the Bank of Ireland); Kenya (March 10, 2005); Malaysia (May 30, 2005 and Shell Malaysia); New Zealand (March 30, 2006 and total number of in-house lawyers); Poland (July 14, 2006 and contract handling); South Africa (Nov. 13, 2005 and diversity requirements); and many from the United Kingdom (for example, April 12, 2006 on heads of legal).
Other non-US posts have been on Europe generally (See my posts of April 18, 2005 on general counsel becoming more strategic; May 14, 2005 on formal complaint mechanisms; Sept. 5, 2005 on costs per hour; Oct. 29, 2005 on some benchmarks; Oct. 31, 2005 on expectations of outside counsel; Feb. 12, 2006 on employment litigation.) and Asia generally (June 15, 2005 on compensation for general counsel).
