Private companies turn to legal managers/significant reduction of costs by using a legal manager instead of a lawyer.

When the pursuit of a legal and criminal case is on the agenda in the judicial authorities, either the persons to whom this happened or a lawyer must appear in these authorities. In the 70s, we saw that the legislator gave a privilege to state-owned companies that instead of an official and licensed attorney, one of the company’s legal managers as a legal representative would take over the follow-up of affairs.
From two perspectives, it can be said that this issue has been beneficial for public and non-governmental companies. One is that they no longer needed to spend exorbitant fees on attorneys’ fees, and the other is that the legal manager based in that company has a good command over the records and details related to that lawsuit due to the fact that he has been present in this organization for a long time. Experiences and records of the legal manager, a better defense is made in the judicial courts.
Recently, according to the knowledge-based jump law, this privilege of using a legal representative instead of a lawyer has been provided for knowledge-based companies. That is, according to the policies of the people at the top of the company, they can use their legal manager, and there is no need to set aside a lot of money for a lawyer, and the benefits of this matter were also announced.
In recent times, the representatives of the Islamic Council are trying to establish this issue without exception and for all private legal persons active in the country. The general aspects of this plan have been approved and its details are being reviewed by the relevant commissions, and we should see the result in the future. Currently, this plan has supporters and opponents in the parliament, and the opposing representatives are reminded that there is a useful presence of regulatory bodies in government institutions, and wherever these legal representatives commit a violation, they immediately enter into this issue.
I believe that they protect their resources better and more carefully in private companies, and this concern is completely false. Even in many cases, the boards of directors of these companies act faster and have more compassion than the regulatory bodies.
