Lawyers go work 'in-house'. i.e. large firms have in-house permanent counsel.
Being in house often means becoming the client of the firm you previously worked for, and suddenly you are the one calling the shots and getting invited to all the expensive dinners.
In-house seems (as a law outsider) a well paid alternative with very light workload.
- abalashov 16y agoIt's a huge win for the employer of the in-house, too. They can pay an in-house lawyer, say, $200,000 - $350,000/year to mostly not do a whole of anything, but handle all legal issues as needed when they do come up. They are also often allowed to quietly practice a little law on the side. That's a whole lot cheaper than paying the retainer and billing rates of a firm for the same workload.
