🔒 No hard sell · No obligation · Google Meet
Reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts, advising business leaders on legal risk, managing outside counsel relationships, supporting employment and HR legal questions, overseeing regulatory compliance matters, and handling litigation management.
JD from accredited law school, active bar admission in the relevant jurisdiction, 4–10 years of relevant legal experience (law firm and/or in-house), and practice area expertise aligned to the role (commercial, employment, regulatory, IP, etc.). In-house experience is valued but not always required.
In-house counsel candidates from large law firms often underestimate the breadth of the in-house role — the combination of business partnering, risk tolerance, and rapid commercial decision-making is genuinely different from firm practice. Screen specifically for comfort with business risk decisions.
