Which biglaw corporate practices are most attractive for in house? Currently do a mix of ECVC and M&A and looking to focus on the former but don’t want to close any doors down the line.

You’ll be fine with M&A or EC/VC. You will get the broadest exposure to how companies work and different types of industries and businesses, which is what you need as an in-house generalist.

Depends. DM me and I can share more

M&A

Privacy, employment are good. Ability to read, write and negotiate contracts is valuable. M&A if the company is in acquisition mode can be helpful but keep in mind outside counsel will do much of the work

I’ve been practicing in both big law (many yrs ago) and now in-house for over 10 years. Quite often I struggle because I don’t find work fulfilling. I’ve been in industries that allegedly have greater cause (healthcare) but was eventually disappointed by the corporate bureaucracy and went to a cutting-edge tech company for intellectual stimulation. Still I struggle. Should I try public interest? Not that I don’t need the money but it’s hard to work when I am so detached and find it meaningless
