YES! To the bar fees and CLE credits.
Thanks!
Is it reasonable to ask company to cover bar fees, continuing education, how much vacation time is acceptable, 401k, private stock options, salary?
I have had two in house roles with smaller companies. I would say completely reasonable to expect bar fees and continuing ed, I also requested and received fees for speciality legal association (in my case health care) but you may want to consider that. I would assume they have a fairly standard vacation allotment for the company although it might be possible to negotiate higher. No insight on stock options as that wasn’t part of my organizations options (non profit).
Do in house counsel get bonuses?
They will likely have an idea what they want to pay you. Robert Half has a salary survey. Ask on here. Tell us geo and we can help.
Check out goinhouse.com and various blog articles from The Lawyer Whisperer blog for more info on what is typical.
Vacation is likely standard companywide.
