Any insight on working in-house legal at Booz Allen Hamilton ? Glassdoor reviews said there are billable hours requirements and you have to bring in business/clients! So is it like working at a law firm, not a regular in-house job?

That is probably for their consultants, not their internal function employees. It’s probably like working in house at any other company - you are supporting their business folks with their legal issues.

I don’t believe there are B requirements or marketing efforts. Any B would be project overhead but in 16 years I’ve never seen an attorney LCAT bill to a project. Mostly we interact with counsel on issues relating to employment, contracts, intellectual property/proprietary information, and conflicts of interest. Probably lots of other things, too but from the project team’s side that’s mostly how we engage counsel.

No need to build a book, as was said above that’s for the consultants to do. You do have to track time but it depends on what you’re working on. Generally it’s either allowable or unallowable overhead time numbers.

Booz 2 even though it’s all overhead, some lawyers there do have to track unallowable vs allowable if that’s where you’re trying to say I’m wrong. I should know since I worked there until fairly recently.

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company. The position is pretty much generalist, but I get the impression I'd be working mostly on SaaS and partnership transactions. I definitely think I would like the transactional work better, but I am concerned about the long-term earning potential vs. partnership. How common is it to eventually make $400k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!

I’ve been in an in-house role since the beginning of the year and just gave 2 weeks’ notice to leave for a much better paying and better titled position. The response has been very petty, to the point that I’ve been called unprofessional even after I asked the hiring attorney whether I could give longer notice at the current company’s request. Is this normal?
