Epsilon Inc has recently retained the services of Noriko as in-house counsel.Which of the following statements is most likely TRUE?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement indicates that Noriko has been hired as in-house counsel, which means she will be working with the company to both help resolve legal problems and prevent them from arising in the first place. In-house counsel is hired specifically to provide ongoing legal support to a company, so it is unlikely that Noriko has been retained solely for a single legal matter (D). Additionally, while Noriko may have come from a law firm, she is now an employee of Epsilon Inc and not just available on an ad hoc basis (A). It is also not a valid assumption that Noriko could not find work in a law firm, as many lawyers choose to work in-house for a variety of reasons. Finally, while Noriko may not be able to represent Epsilon Inc in court without external support, she can still provide advice and guidance to the company (E).
