The purpose of this Expression of Interest is to identify external counsel who are interested and qualified to provide legal services to the IPC. While in-house counsel remain the preferred way of delivering legal services, the IPC may need to retain external counsel in certain circumstances, including where the demand for legal services exceeds available internal resources. External counsel will complement in-house counsel in the IPC’s Legal Services Department.
Upon reviewing the submissions received in response to this Expression of Interest, the IPC intends to establish a list of qualified external counsel who may be retained, in the IPC’s sole discretion, to provide legal services to the IPC.
The Expression of Interest process is a request for information only. It is not a request for or an authorization to perform any work. The Expression of Interest does not imply a commitment by the IPC to proceed with, continue or complete this or any other similar process.
