Setting the Standard in Corporate Law

Since 1992, the DuPont Legal Model has offered corporate law departments and the law firms that serve them a wide range of corporate law best practices.

By applying “business discipline” to the practice of corporate law, the Legal Model focuses resources and makes strategic law firm partnering, information technology, metrics, diversity and other initiatives the cornerstones of our approach.

The Legal Model also serves as a unifying framework that adjusts to change and new challenges. Through this model, we’ve created a successful legal network of members with a common vision and unifying goal.

The Legal Model helps:

• Cut costs
• Increase productivity
• Improve the quality of our services
• Create easier access to new opportunities
• Solidify relationships among DuPont staff members, Primary Law Firms and Service Providers
