# interpret law — Legal Counsel

As Legal Counsel, 'interpreting law' isn’t about abstract legal theory – it’s *applied* analysis happening constantly throughout the day. A typical task might be reviewing a new regulation impacting your company (e.g., data privacy updates) and translating that into actionable guidance for business units. Or, you could be dissecting contract language to advise on risk exposure during negotiations. Tools used are often specialized legal research databases like Westlaw or LexisNexis, but also internal policy documents and precedent memos. It's about going beyond *what* the law says to understanding *how* it applies to a specific fact pattern your company faces.
