- lazide 2y agoThat’s really not the right way to hire a lawyer you need right now. Probably not the right way to hire a lawyer at all, frankly. How does he expect a junior attorney to help him at all, especially one who is depending on him for his paycheck?
- rafram 2y agoThere's nothing to indicate that they're hiring a lawyer to deal with this situation. That was just speculation on the part of the parent comment. They probably just need to fill a vacancy in their legal division.
- hluska 2y agoThe job specifically asks for a JD with 8+ years of experience. The position will lead corporate, securities and governance work. This is not a junior attorney. Here’s the job ad: https://automattic.com/work-with-us/job/associate-general-counsel/ https://automattic.com/work-with-us/job/associate-general-co...
- lazide 2y agoThanks, I was going off the description from the parent poster. My bad!

Most large companies outsource the bigger stuff and anything non day-to-day (like trademark enforcement and litigation) to law firms.
- lazide 2y agoYup, that’s what I was referring to - but they’re already doing a lot of weird stuff, so hiring someone internally to handle litigation (or similar) would be the kind of dumb I would expect.
