Anyone here work at or familiar with Embark? Curious what client base and day to day looks like in accounting advisory.

Super frustrated.

In-house at a small/mid size company whose General Counsel very, very BigLaw firm for all needs. Basically, I decide what goes to BigLaw and they hold my hand when I need it.

Any suggestions? We've got to get away from this big law firm..
