Have been working in big law for 7 years and after billing 400+hrs last month I’ve decided it’s time to go in-house. I’m concerned about market for in house positions in Miami and hoping I can tap into jobs in other markets that are remote. As a litigation associate I’m also worried about not having that many options. Any thoughts, referrals, or ideas are appreciated!

Honesty, I’m barely alive.

I went from litigation to in-House. Also live in Miami. Apply for remote Jobs across the country. I’m permanently remote and couldn’t be happier with my job

What kind of litigation? Im happy to give advice. I was a mixed bag of commercial misc/ FINRA/ trade secrets and gen corporate, and it’s all about selling that experience as useful. With litigation you’re going from a reactive practice of law to proactive in house - is how I see it and sold my experience. It’s about seeing the mines in the field before your colleagues step on them - because you’ve dealt with the aftermath in litigation and mapped the mistakes to understand how to form your defense. Those months are so awful with the 400 hours I never got that - I think 325 was mine, but that was leading up to a trial.
