Trying to get a sense of what's market comp for an in-house role:
-GC of a fast-growing software development, data science, and design shop (first legal hire)
-Requires 3+ years experience in-house and/or firm experience with commercial contracts and/or technology licensing
-Living in or willing to move to Southern California
-Reasonable work-life expectations (roughly 40 hour work week)

I'd also question HARD whether a 40 hr week would be anywhere close to possible at a fast growing startup in a legal team of 1.

I was a solo at a C,D and E startup and regularly dealt with far more than that.

I would question if is 3+ is enough. If you have the budget, I would go 5+ with your first legal hire since there would be no supervision.

Base needs to be 200K+, maybe closer to 250 for a more senior hire. You’ll need to give shares based on stage of the company, valuation and RSU value. For bonus, it’s all variable and negotiable.

Feel free to DM w/ more details and can give my 2c.

Agreed—and I’m a fourth year who went in house after three years of experience. I’d recommend 5+ or 6+ (at least).

helpful

agree 3 years is not sufficient you need 5+ preferable 7-8+ with corporate background as well as tech trans. for this person if you want them to be good 250+ with equity, bonus and severance

Additional Posts in Corporate Transactional Law

Working on a deal where buyer's side keeps on insisting on a POA to effectuate all actions of Seller under the agreement, including executing documents. I keep striking this and commenting that this is not standard. Has anyone dealt with this? I am okay with a limited POA based on the industry of the Seller, but not this general POA.

This is kind of a personal post but I recently had an encounter with someone who told me I had a "typical lawyer personality" aka found me boring or difficult to talk to, I guess. This was someone totally outside of my social circle. Do you think this is true of lawyers? We do have a very different life than most people, but I'm wondering if it's something I should work on.
