Change is inevitable in the life of any business, and most changes that should attract a lawyer’s professional attention are externally imposed rather that internally generated. Such changes are often regulatory and legal. Every business organization should have quick access to sound legal assistance to cope with changes and challenges as they occur. Changes have both positive and negative implications, creating problems as well as opportunities. Management’s objective, aided by legal counsel, should be to anticipate and respond to changes in a positive way, and to meet legal challenges out-rightly.
