Most jobs pay for required licensure to perform the role. Lawyer shouldn't be different (I'm at a firm not in house but wanted to weigh in)

Yes. Most companies will only pay for one state or a set number of states if you’re licensed in multiple.

Yes. I have 2 states (2nd to become licensed where company is) and company pays both

They aren’t rich enough to cover my alcohol abuse (V20)

Yes, both. And my CLE fees.

Hello,
Anyone here willing to give me a referral for a claims position, or even refer me to some jobs that you recommend. A remote position, preferably not a call center, I really love insurance and actually want to process or investigate to handle claims. I am a fully licensed producer (PA) and also have my Florida adjusters license. My current role is Complex Claims Specialist at StateFarm. (I was unable to update my job description because my company blocks this email) Thanks In Advance!!!

My boyfriend wants kids. The only kids I want are the ones with fur and 4 legs.

Doesn’t make me feel hopeful that he’ll wake up when he hears a baby cry at night. He sleeps like a log.

Additional Posts in In-House Counsel

Do you explain the "why" as in-house or do you just give the answer? IMO the why teaches internal teams to ask "better” questions and might train them to call some of the shots.

Then again, I’m scared the "why" just comes off as soap-boxing and I’m becoming the legal windbag stereotype.

Are there any other in-house L&E attys on here?

We have been following doctors’ orders if they check “required” on the medical form, but EEO staff is now asking me if they should push back because “community spread” is low. The EEOC suggests all requests be granted. Any middle ground?

Hi Fish. Recently moved in-house to a newly public tech company. People are great, but the team is really understaffed. No paralegal or assistant- we are doing everything ourselves.
