Staff Counsel Analysis  

 
       A successful staff counsel program can save up to 50% on outside outside legal fees without any drop in indemnity results. In fact, a successful staff counsel program may actually save on indemnity costs.  
   
      However, an in-house staff counsel program does not work for every insurer. . .   

         

 

      To reach an informed decision on whether a staff counsel program is right for your company, there are a myriad of questions and issues that need to be considered and addressed including:

 

 

  • Are staff counsel offices right for all geographical areas?
  • How do I analyze costs savings potential over outside counsel? 
  • Can staff counsel handle all or just certain types of cases? 
  • What is the best way for a staff counsel program to be structured?
  • What are the key things to look for when hiring staff counsel?
  • What are the legal ethical issues that need to be considered?
  • Are there other issues that must be evaluated?
