Anyone fully remote as in-house counsel? What’s it like? Are you comfortable sharing your company name? Asking for purely informational purposes and also because it sounds like a dream - companies should embrace it!

Oracle is fully remote for attorneys at this point unless you want an office. Highly recommended.

Very cool. I’ll check them out. Thanks for sharing!

I am fully remote at a tech company someone mentioned already. Absolutely love it. Love what I do and my team. The flexibility and respect for your time are great. You can take breaks for a quick run in the middle of the day. I don't worry about what to wear. Mornings are not as manic as before when trying to get the kids out the door, and heading to work at the same time. I don't ever want to have to go into an office full time.

I am 100% remote. Direct message for company if interested. I moved back to my hometown -- I am in investments and most companies are back east.

I have two little kids and I have enjoyed how much more time I can spend with them. I might have a different view on working from home once they are in school, but for now I love it.

I switched from private practice to an in-house counsel role a few months back. The position has turned fully remote, and, if I’m being honest, has made company integration a bit challenging.

like

I work from home about 99% of the time. (I still have a physical office, but I’m not required to go in.). My stress levels have been reduced dramatically, and I get to use vacation time for real vacations as opposed to using it to visit family and friends who live out of state. WFH has been a total game changer for me.

like

Global consulting company. Option to be fully remote but can go into office anytime I want. Lawyers are dispersed so I rarely make the trip. Was 95% remote at last company too so it now seems normal. My old colleagues and I would joke about what kind of salary bump it would take for us to ever go back to a fully in-person role. A lot easier when everyone is remote.

like

I am! I love it! We have weekly legal team meetings and 1:1s with each team member every week. So I still get the interactions and when things are slow, I can do laundry.

I don’t know how the privacy works on this app so I won’t share my company name but I’m at a recently public tech company. I’ve been remote since before the pandemic.

Working remotely beats being required to go into an office; however, I wish I had the option to go into an office. I do miss spending time with coworkers.

I am. I have been fully remote for a little over years. Was at a mid size tech company for 5 years and now at one of the big 4 consulting companies. My last role only had a yearly sales kickoff where I would meet colleagues but my current company has given me 4 opportunities to meet the team in person in just 5 months. I love being remote. My main motivation for staying remote initially was a move to a new city and then I started a family. While I’ve always had my kids in daycare, I love that I don’t spend hours commuting everyday. My in person meetings are mostly fun and a way to bond with my team. I love the flexibility

like

Fully remote at a mid-sized broker dealer/i bank and I love WFH (for the most part!). I do miss the mentorship and social aspects of being in-person. But it’s fantastic not having to commute, getting to wear comfortable clothing, and being able to pop out for a coffee or walk without getting side eyes. Downside for me is I tend to get a little distracted if my loft isn’t immaculately clean and can end up wasting too much of the morning cleaning and then have to work later into the evening!

Ideally I’d like a hybrid setup that splits the week up.

like

I was fully remote during the pandemic and hybrid now by choice. I personally prefer the hybrid model because there can be some benefits to the office environment, but I have control over which days I go in.

Our in-house legal team is in a hybrid model and headquartered in California. However, I was hired to be 100% remote in Georgia. Many of my colleagues go in 1-2 days a week on the west coast, but I do not. I make quarterly trips to the west coast that range from 2-5 days (with travel) and work from home the rest of the time. There is an office about an hour away from my home, but I’m not expected to report there unless there is an actual business necessity. So far, that’s been 2 times in 5 months. My first day to get equipment and one in person lunch with a business unit I support. I’ve been in this role since the first quarter of 2022 and I never intend to go back to any office full time. The definition of any dream job has shifted substantially now to include fully or mostly remote work.
