Date: June 18th, 2015 10:25 PM Author: Emerald shaky double fault They are hiring because they have a need to fill. If they needed a hotshot BigLawyer they would have just "hired" you.
The things that make you valuable at a lawfirm are often the opposite of the things that make you valuable in-house: running down every trap, finding every comma splice, winning a specific fight without considering the war.
The things that make you dependable at a lawfirm are the same things that make you dependable in-house: judgment, rapport, consistency, trustworthiness.
When asked your favorite things about practicing law don't say things that in-house lawyers hire law firms to handle, e.g., going to court, writing memos, taking depos or doing diligence.
Have a really good reason you want to leave a higher paying job with greater potential upside, such as raising a family and spending time with them. That's very likely why your interviewer did it.
Most in-house jobs are not work hard, play hard. They are work hard and go home. Focus on the work and have hobbies that don't involve your coworkers.
In-house people believe it is hard to transition to in-house and it is. Drop your ego a level or two and focus on helping something other than yourself. Be a team player for real.
You love the idea of one client because you hate the inherent conflict in working for a law firm that wants the most money from your clients.
Talk about your life and what your passions are and be yourself with anyone lower than AGC. Be their buddy. Keep your guard up for AGC or better (or equivalent if huge company).
You're not looking forward to budgets but you understand how they work and know how important they are. You've seen clients waste money from the inside and, while it's the least exciting part of going in-house, you understand how important it is.
You get along with people from every walk of life. It'll be nice not to hang out with lawyers all day.
It's definitely going to be a transition, but you have the soft skills you think you need and now that you've been at the lawfirm you have the experience to really make a difference.
You look forward to hearing from them.

Date: November 28th, 2018 4:56 PM Author: excitant bipolar national yes in the sense that it makes it easier for recruiters to find you.
I'm a hedge fund recruiter right now the only legal position i'm working on is for a family office client- they're specifically looking for someone in the Trusts & Estates/Private Client practice.
If you just have your biglaw firm & school in there i won't find it unless I make my intern do a manual search thru V50 firms in their firm bios

Date: June 18th, 2015 11:03 PM Author: appetizing dilemma On fucking point. I remember my first few weeks, I was still in BigLaw mode. This article is pretty much what my boss told me, i.e., stop pouring over docs to find subject-verb disagreements. Cut it loose if it suffices.
Most important thing, fo sho, is that you need to keep business happy, while protecting the company. It is a delicate dance. Making shit easier for everyone is a 180 move. Business was happy fuck once I did a lil Word magic. |

|
Date: June 19th, 2015 5:06 PM Author: appetizing dilemma For some reason I thought it was some article. Nice poast.
Also, the worst part of in-house are the landgrabs (trying to manage groups, do someone else's job, etc) that attorneys do to increase their exposure. At my place, it seems like you need do a lil bit of this to get the MD title. |

Date: July 10th, 2015 8:05 PM Author: appetizing dilemma lol. There are some attys that fail to think of practical solutions. They are just so quick to say, "This doesn't work. We can't do it." And leave it at that. I've noticed that the more respected attys say the above but also "But, this is how we play it [or something similar]."

They erupted in applause. |

Making 180 decks is more important than anything else as an inhouse bro at a F500. Half this job is presenting metrics to steering commitees of the board or even the whole board.
