Has anyone moved over from a gen lit group at a firm to in-house? Wondering how that move happens, though I understand it’s tougher than if one was working in corporate or even employment.

I did. There was a learning curve with respect to some corporate matters, but not insurmountable. I’ve really enjoyed having the opportunity to broaden my practice, and I do not at all miss the grind of litigation or firm life.

Agree with C1. It’s harder to move in-house if you’re a litigator though it’s doable (I did it). Leverage the firm’s existing clients and your network to land a spot. Then once you’re in-house, move beyond litigation into compliance, HR, and other areas in which a litigation mindset is useful.

Hey fishes!

I’ve got a quick question. Does companies allow people to work on another part-time projects (freelancing), during their employment? Most companies have restricted their employees to be involved in such side gigs, right?

Then how do people freelance? They do it without letting the company know?
