I really enjoy working with a client to get a matter done, with some variety each time, and then moving on. A lot of the value I provide is drafting expertise. I can’t imagine having tons of meetings all day and dealing with business people all day, all in the context of a single company with a particular set of individuals I am stuck with for a long time. These make me a good fit for biglaw. Oh, and lots more money. The opposite might be true for someone else.
