I’m currently an associate at an AMLaw 200 focused on insurance defense but with some commercial litigation and privacy advisory work. I want to work inhouse at an ai start up (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral) or meta/google doing product focused legal work. How do I bridge this gap?

The roles you’re targeting are unicorn roles even for people with a relevant practice. It’s not going to work without a hard pivot. If its not feasible to pivot within your current firm, you might have to explore lateraling to another firm that’ll let you handle that work

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...

They also indicate the preferred stock price is $6 and preferred stock equity is $188k (whatever that means). They are in the middle of a new financing and valuation round.
