I have what I think is a final interview this Friday. Small legal dept where I would be the 3rd lawyer. I’m not sure how many candidates are still being considered but I assume they will make an offer within the next week or so.

One major point for me is parental leave. I don’t think they have any and I plan to have another kid fall/winter 2023. Fortunately they are big enough for FMLA but I’m considering asking for a signing bonus if no parental leave is provided. When’s the best time to ask?

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...

I am currently in ID and wanting a miracle in-house position. I recently learned that the VP of Lit for an ins. carrier was promoted leaving her position open. I’m unsure if they’re planning to fill that vacant role.

I know this is a sensitive topic as she gives me cases. I have a great professional and personal rapport with her. Any tips?

I’m not allowed to reach out to people in advance and prepare customized NDAs for them, because “everyone is automated” and “that’s too slow and causes too much work for them.” I moved the signatory info to the signature block and made a “Full Legal Name of Entity you Represent” line, but people still screw it up and I’m getting blamed. WTF do I do?

Currently working on a three person team in a larger GC group. I lateraled from a different group that did not pay attorneys on an attorney scale. I’m stuck in my old pay scale but have gotten promotions and raises quickly with more on the horizon.

Is it worth trying to get a counter to stay if I get the bigger offer?
