Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your General Counsel shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the General Counsel offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of General Counsel at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a General Counsel? Wrong! If the General Counsel is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about General Counsel then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling General Counsel? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about General Counsel and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your General Counsel wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your General Counsel then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the General Counsel site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about General Counsel, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your General Counsel, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.
A
general counsel is the chief
lawyer of a legal department, usually in a corporation or government department. The term is most used in the United States. The status and prominence of the general counsel has grown much over the past 10 years as is evidenced by the large number of lawyers who come into the role from private practice.
A general counsel’s roles include furnishing legal advice to the corporation’s board of directors, CEO, and other senior executives. But a contemporary general counsel often occupies other roles as well, each complex and additionally interlinked in many ways. These linkages may be beneficial to a corporation and society more generally. Nonetheless, general counsel’s position has often been characterized as ambiguous, a characterization that suggests that not all occupants of the position succeed in balancing its multiple roles in either a professionally or socially satisfactory manner.
Professional bodiesIn the UK a group of general counsel, called the GC100, was officially launched on 9th March 2005 and brings together the senior legal officers of more than 85 FTSE100 companies.
GC100
The GC100 group was created in response to the increasing volume and complexity of domestic and international law and regulation which impacts on UK listed companies. The group was formed with the support of
Practical Law Company which acts as its secretariat.
The main objectives of the GC100 are to:
- Provide a forum for practical and business focused input on key areas of legislative and policy reform common to UK listed companies.
- Enable members to share best practice in relation to law, risk management, compliance and other areas of common interest.
Membership of the GC100 is by invitation only. At the Group AGM on the 16 January 2007 members voted in favour of extending membership to company secretaries as well as general counsel in the FTSE100. The formal name of the GC100 is , "The Association of General Counsel and Company Secretaries of the FTSE100", although it will continue to be known as the GC100.
The first officers of the GC100 for 2007 are:
Helen Mahy, National Grid (Chair).
Rosemary Martin, Reuters and Peter Maynard, Prudential (Vice-chairs).
Richard Bennett, HSBC (Treasurer).
The following are members of the executive committee:
Rupert Bondy, GlaxoSmithKline
Grant Dawson, Centrica
Nick Folland, Kingfisher Plc
Mark Harding, Barclays
Andrea Harris, WPP
David Jackson, BP
Peter Kennerley, Scottish & Newcastle
Alastair Michie, Lloyds TSB
Christopher Roberts, Reckitt Benckiser
