Has anyone lateraled from big law into an in-house role at one of your firm’s clients? I feel like this happens quite a lot and curious how that process went (did you reach out to them, they to you, etc)? I’m in my second year and staffed on a large client & starting to develop a relationship which I’d like to maintain. I’m thinking about hanging in here for another year or two but then starting to look to lateral. Would love to work for this company if a position is available at that time.

This is how I got my job at my current company. I had expressed general interest in the company over a period of a few years and met with one of the lawyers in the company for lunch/coffee about once a year when I was in the same city. Then, when there was opening in the company’s legal department, they reached out to me.

I live in the same city as the company so I was thinking about reaching out for a lunch or coffee once COVID is over. Thank you!

Hi Fishes,
