How do I go about finding my “target” companies? I’m coming from biglaw and looking for a fully remote securities/corp gov role at a stable/mature company with a large/decent sized legal team that already has established a process/precedent docs. How do I vet these companies?

I guess just work backwards down a list of the top 100 public companies and see if they offer remote roles? That will probably narrow your field significantly. But yeah you’re looking for a unicorn, you need to cast a wide net. Set up LinkedIn alerts to get a feel for the market.

I basically have this - 375k total comp, fully remote, securities/governance at large stable public company. You need to network for roles like this - from my experience, basically no one hires for these outside of their networks, construed broadly; someone needs to be able to vouch for you, as it’s too risky to hire otherwise. Ps - not sure why my title is associate, can’t figure out how to change it

Good luck, I looked for similar roles and as a senior who isn’t pressed for money I just didn’t think the tradeoff was worth it. Outliers aside, the unwritten in-house rule of thumb used to be roughly 25% paycut for 50% of the work, now it’s like 50+% paycut for 75% of the work. Those with options aren’t interested in that arrangement, and the places that didn’t have lowball ranges expected you to be the large/decent sized team you seek.

How far do you require depts be with negotiating commercial contract terms before your legal review? I’m talking routine low value and risk contracts (e.g., vendor services), where Legal terms won’t kill the deal. My clients blindly forward contracts. I say “are you sure this term is ok?” And often get “no.” They’re surprised because they never read them. Checking the temp to see what others experience, what might be normal. I feel contract training in my clients’ future...
