This article analyzes the role of corporate in-house counsel in compliance. The rise of corporate counsel — most prominently, the Chief Legal Officer — has been accompanied by the growing demands of regulatory compliance and the emergence of the compliance profession. We examine the significant and positive influence of corporate counsel over two distinct yet interrelated domains: corporate governance and a culture of integrity. These two domains work together to establish the governance and cultural foundations of compliance within the corporation, and serve as the foundation for a pragmatic partnership between the corporation's legal and compliance functions.

合规时代的企业法律顾问领域

本文分析了公司内部法律顾问在合规方面的作用。公司法律顾问（最主要的是首席法律官）的崛起伴随着对法规遵从性的日益增长的需求以及合规性专业的出现。我们考察了公司法律顾问在两个截然不同但相互关联的领域中的重大和积极影响：公司治理和诚信文化。这两个领域共同努力，为公司内部建立合规的治理和文化基础，并为公司法律和合规职能之间建立务实的合作伙伴关系奠定了基础。
