Which FAANG has the best WLB for its in house counsel? I’ve heard Amazon is basically just big law hours. I’ve also heard Google attorneys similarly work a ton. Any of them offer close to a 9-5 MF job?

Apple legal teams are lean as well. Some days I work a lot, and some days not as much. Seems to average out, but you have to create the balance.

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.
