A client asked me to go in-house. I’ll be their first in-house attorney, handling corporate and real estate issues (75-80% real estate). I can choose my title, but was offered Real Estate Legal Director, and I’ll be reporting to the CEO. Should I go with something like Director of Real Estate and Corporate Legal Affairs or Chief Real Estate Counsel? Which sounds better?

Im S1, got an offer from another big 4 to be a manager but my firm (also a big 4) wants to make me a manager and match the salary immediately.

I got an offer in industry! Feeling excited but at the same time very confused. It’s a good offer that I don’t want to pass up but also feel extremely bad leaving during busy season.

So I pulled an all nighter on Monday to do this thing, spend Tuesday like a zombie (and I had 5 calls!!!) then on 6PM the senior reviewing my work came back with comments that I needed to turn “ASAP”. I was so tired I just said I would not because I needed to sleep. I sent them today at 1:30 PM.

Hello! I’m a cpa/working in tax serving individuals in the entertainment space (mostly on the tv & film side so actors, producers, directors, writers). Would be interested in networking with attorneys working in the same space. PM me if of interest.
