Practitioner-grade checklists, daily news analysis with actionable practice points, and current awareness across 13 corporate law domains. Written for lawyers who run legal departments, not lawyers who read about them.
CounselBrief is not a law school primer or a marketing newsletter. It's the working reference and daily brief that a senior in-house lawyer actually needs: practitioner checklists that reflect how deals really close, news analysis with practice points specific enough to forward to your team, and current awareness that cuts the noise down to what moves the needle for a public company legal department.
What changed overnight, distilled to practice points you can act on before your first meeting. Original analysis of the developments that matter to a public company legal department — specific enough to forward to your team or raise with your board committee.
Deep, continuously updated primers across 13 domains. Not textbook summaries — the frameworks and decision trees a CLO actually uses. Know the complete landscape so you never walk into a board meeting or outside counsel call unprepared.
Interactive checklists that map every step of critical processes — 8-K filings, proxy season, M&A closings, board transitions. Not to replace your outside counsel, but to make sure nothing gets missed and every dollar of outside spend is productive.
Annotated forms modeled on the NVCA approach: every provision explained, every negotiation point surfaced. Not templates to deploy blindly — educational tools that teach the why behind every clause, so your team and your business clients understand the stakes.
Structured input, clean output. Turn your meeting notes into properly formatted board minutes in minutes, not hours. Consistent formatting, correct corporate formalities, every time — so your corporate secretary can focus on substance instead of formatting.
A Texas federal judge on Tuesday dismissed a derivative suit claiming Southwest Airlines' board breached its fiduciary duties by abandoning the carrier's iconic 'Bags Fly Free' policy. The ruling marks a significant early test of the state's recently amended Business Organizations Code (TBOC), which now provides Texas corporations with some of the nation's most robust protections for board-level decisions.
A chat window gives you a draft. CounselBrief gives you a system: annotated forms that explain why each clause matters, checklists updated when the law changes, and daily analysis you don't have to prompt for. No versioning problems, no inconsistency, no rebuilding from scratch every Monday morning.
AI-efficient pricing. Practitioner-grade judgment. Structure that doesn't ask you to become a prompt engineer.
