legal department
Company's attorney team
The legal department is the division of a company or organization that handles its legal matters—reviewing contracts, ensuring regulatory compliance, managing litigation, and advising on legal risk.
In-house counsel work there rather than at outside law firms: Run this past the legal department before we sign anything.
Often shortened to just legal: Legal says we can't do that.
