Hi, yes. In house at a pediatric research hospital. I have been here almost 7 years and love my job- came 1 1/2 years out of law school. Health care is a passion for me so I do not feel that I have really “worked” a day since I got here, but have had the privilege of doing what I love. I do not see myself leaving any time soon. As for workload, at least at my institution, it depends on if you support the clinical or research sides. Everyone handles contracts (some specialize in clinical contracting and physician contracting) subpoena response, institutional policy drafting/editing, serving/advising committees, and managing outside counsel for various projects, but us clinical legal folks are also on call for medico-legal type issues multiple days a week during business hours and then rotate nights and weekends on a weekly basis. Not bad, just a different rhythm to your week nights/weekend. Then there is regulatory research, a lot of issues and research around consent (for procedures and research/clinical trials) and health law related education/training to clinical staff. Main pressures would be navigating politics and personalities, taking legal facts/principles/advice and helping your client apply it to actual human lives and clinical processes in a manner that is consistent and able to be followed, contracting spikes at the end of the calendar year and fiscal year, operationalizing regulatory compliance and trainings across the institution, the urgent nature of many clinical issues that arise and the immediate response and decision making that is required, and finally, regularly being exposed to death in a secondary capacity, especially the death of children.

2. They've started mentioning Bonus, Gratuity amount etc in offer letter
3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
