Guidelines and Instructions for Submission

Executive Counsel is a publication for corporate decision makers who understand the importance of making the law work to their advantage.

Written by lawyers, management experts and journalists, Executive Counsel highlights ways that knowledge of the law can generate opportunities, reveal pitfalls, and suggest creative business strategies.

Executive Counsel:

• Provides expert advice from the most sought-after attorneys and knowledgeable scholars.
• Features articles about executives who have succeeded (or failed) to use the law effectively.
• Highlights real case histories of corporate decisions, as they were developed by teams of executives and their counsel.
• Examines the interactions of executives and counsel as they work through the legal side of their endeavors so that readers learn what has worked and what hasn’t.

Legislative and regulatory bodies worldwide are busy making sure that every important business decision has a legal dimension. Wise executives know that viewing legal exigencies as a nuisance or impediment is counterproductive, and that simply avoiding trouble isn’t enough. The law is a competitive tool. Our goal is to help them use it.

Should you find that you share our mission and you believe you can provide significant information for our readers, we invite you to submit an article.

Prepare a synopsis of your proposed submission, including the central idea, why it’s timely, and why a busy executive would take the take time to read it. Does it help the reader avoid some legal peril they may not be aware of? Conversely, does it suggest a strategic opportunity or a way to improve operations? Is there something in your article which may provide an opportunity for a more successful operation of their business?

Once you have answered these questions write several introductory paragraphs that develop the central idea. Remember our readers are busy executives and are not lawyers. They are looking for information about the law’s effect on their business and some practical decision-making guidance, and they want it presented jargon-free written in an engaging, fresh, jargon-free style that will guide their decision making.

Submit this synopsis by email to editor@executivecounsel.info along with a one paragraph bio.
