My first week in-house as a seasoned professional in a specialized area of law, learning that we have a totally unnecessary process in place, which was set up by my boss, a European attorney allegedly well versed in our specialized area of law. How do I delicately inform that “the process you set up and team you hired to do X is based on a misunderstanding of the law. You don’t have to do X. You can do Y instead, which is what everyone else does, it’s easy and free & doesn’t require a team.”

How have you broke the news to your boss that you’re looking to make a career change and leave the practice? I am the Sr. Paralegal at my firm (7+ years) and work for a solo practitioner in a very busy wage & hour class action practice. We have one other legal assistant and law clerk. I don’t want to burn bridges, but after seeing how he gave the cold shoulder to his paralegal of 10+ years after going on maternity leave and never coming back, I don’t see how I can’t expect the same treatment.

Awfully quiet here. I have been looking at news and seeing weird stuff. Do 70% of Republicans really believe that Trump lost due to voter fraud? That is an insanely high number.

I’m looking for advice (I understand that it might be suck it up). I’m a young in-house attorney. I’m getting great experience but I don’t get guidance, training, advice, etc from my boss and she’s a perfectionist. So the feedback I do get is, mistakes can’t happen. We are extremely understaffed and her solution is an intern for me to oversee. Does anyone have any thoughts on how handle this situation?

I just graduated with my MS in Health Information Management. Any jobs in NYC in this particular field (first time in this field)? Provide links. 🫶🏼

• Bachelors degree in Radiologic Sciences (x-ray tech)
• Master of Science in Health Information Management

Partners and All, went through this thread and there are questions on titles and comp. is there a way we can create one post and pin it, so the questions here will be focussed on non-comp. (contd)

I am shadowing someone and they are doing things very wrong. Do I say something? I don’t want to be associated with it, but also don’t want to seem I’m not wanting to work with the person.

I’m considering stepping back a bit to be with my kids more and ideally want to work part time or possibly freelance. Do either of these exist in Account Management? If freelancing, where do I start?

Today the cash register broke down while a customer was waiting with 4 pallets of Monster. He yelled at me.

Partner recently told me that I’m “too formal” at work and should loosen up and “be myself”. Any other attorneys of color struggle with this? I felt it was a little tone deaf...

Looking to switch into the tech world. Any suggestions on remote roles for Senior Associate/Consultant level?

Anyone see their scores yet? Usually the evening before or early afternoon on the day before I see them.

Currently have an interview that requires a TS/SCI clearance, though it's stated in my resume that I currently have a Secret clearance. I did not directly apply for the job, but was contacted by a Recruiter. Did the Recruiter not read my resume or is this a negotiation point during the interview? Coming out of 8 years in the Army with just my current civvie career under my belt.

TCS HR called me three days ago before Onboarding and told me that i can not join TCS as my bgc negative for one organization.But i know that all my experiences are true and valid. What should i do now ? I have family. i am jobless.

Made a counteroffer a week ago and it’s been crickets ever since. Unsure whether it’s being run up the chain or whether I’m being ghosted. Companies and recruiters, why are you like this? 🚩

How are the paralegals in your department organized/structured? What are the pros and cons? We’re exploring the idea of a paralegal center of excellence. Currently paralegals are reporting to the lawyers they support. The disadvantages are that the paralegals are siloed, so there’s no back-up if they’re out and they don’t have anyone who can support them if their work gets too busy. Additionally, the lawyers have a hard time accurately evaluating them since they can’t easily compare their work.

Hey there! Interested to know if anyone has worked with an executive or career coach. If yes, did you find the experience helpful? Why did you go and what did you learn/do? Thanks!

What are some companies that hire attorneys fully remote with 3-5 YOE? Even if there are not openings currently, I am curious to know so I can keep my eyes peeled for openings that may come up.

Just started working in-house within the last couple of months. First real attorney gig after doing compliance. The GC was terminated and I had to fill in the role as GC (even though that’s not what I’m called). My company says they don’t need a GC. Talked to my boss today and they want to hire another to take things off my plate since I am the only attorney. They plan to rewrite my job position to do more risk and compliance. Am I wrong for feeling like I should have been included in the convo?

Has anyone changed areas of law while in-house? If so, how did you do it and what was that like?

I have a third interview with a start up making their second legal hire. It seems like an exciting space but I’d be leaving a huge company and taking on risk if it works out. Any good questions to ask the GC as a second legal hire? I have management style, work assignments, handled but could use help on some other big ones folks typically ask!

What kind of in-house offer is too good to refuse? Need some ideas on what to negotiate in an offer? Fully Remote, salary, stock, bonus, signing bonus, wlb, etc?

Best recruiting firms for finding in-house counsel (non-litigation) positions?

Currently not a resident of CA, but will be in September. Accepted an in house job based in CA (will be remote until then). CA bar website says I must be a CA resident to waive into the in house program. I called the office and was told I don’t have to be a CA resident.

Can anyone provide insight on whether I have to be a CA resident to waive into the CA bar as in house counsel? Planning to sit for one of the next 2 administrations of the bar, but would like to have this until then. TIA!

Anyone have insight on total comp at PayPal for Senior Legal Counsel positions. Recruiter is refusing to give me their range and wants me to state my expectations 😒

All: I am interested in a contract management system for small departments with one to five employees. Any suggestions?

Tax counsel jobs seem to be rare, compared to the more common tax senior analyst/manager/director roles. Anyone have any insight into compensation and whether companies put a premium on JDs? Looking at HCOL areas for 5-8 yrs of exp and want to understand reasonable salary bands.

New to working in-house. Where do you view good sample contracts? Ive gotten so used to using practical law/practical guidance/mosaic back at the firm and not quite sure what everyone else uses in-house without breaking bank. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated!

Is it weird to ask during an interview in house whether there is any time tracking?

Context: I’m leaving my current job because I absolutely despise billing and cannot get with the “record your hours” program. I have ADHD so jumping from project to project is important for me to keep my focus (it’s what works for me), and having to stop and bill messes up that chaotic rhythm I found. So I want to be 100% sure there will be no tracking my daily time in this new position.
