Do in-house roles have conflicts checks?
Recently moved in-house and struggling with how to document my contributions (keep a “brag list” if you will) for purposes of review season and eventual bonus/promotion/raise discussions. At a firm it was fairly easy to point to high billables, high profile deals, praise from particular partners or clients. Now I’m struggling because my work is so….day to day. Mostly negotiating typical sales contracts. Very few opportunities for visibility or high profile contributions if that makes sense.

I don’t. We’re trained to talk like elitist morons so it needs to be untrained.
It’s an interesting question. Early on I tried to sound more lawyerly. I have spent the past 10 or so years trying to sound more “business.” I have found my business partners assume I am lawyerly enough- what they want is for me to understand their business priorities, financials, and strategy and how I can help them without droning on like a lawyer for hours.
Good luck!
this is brilliant advice, can you share this with law school professors and career departments 😂
Better to keep it simple. Some clients will understand the “lawyer talk”, others will act like they understand. With the latter case, there’s the potential for the client misunderstanding what you are trying to say to them.
