As you know the [[JC]] is principally concerned with the management of in-house legal. Once upon a time the [[legal department]] itself was a kind of operations office, there not to dispense legal advice so much as manage the outsourcing of legal work to law firms... and, er, check the firm’s name was spelled and punctuated correctly on the [[football team]]. That’s “Wickliffe Hampton S.A., acting through its London Branch”, everybody!
