I’m a Big Law IP lit associate and I’ve applied for an in-house litigation counsel role at a tech company. I’m a 4th year and they’re looking for someone in my range to work with senior litigation counsel. I’m looking for more info about in-house lit roles, particularly in departments large enough to have a more junior litigation counsel too. Anyone made this transition or have experience with this role? My hope is maybe better balance and fewer constant nasty meet&confers. Am I delusional?

I’m the lowest level attorney at my company (we’re large enough to have 4 levels, plus management roles). I’m not in litigation so I can’t speak to that area specifically, but it’s been a great experience so far. It’s not quite the same “safety net” as at a law firm because there is way more independence in my day-to-day duties, but I love that there are more senior attorneys who I can go to for advice and mentorship.

Thank you for sharing! That does sound like a great experience.

Hi everyone,

In mid size firms, people won't pay as much as big 4 pays.

Should I take it or am I making a mistake by taking this.
