The best lawyers--i.e., the lawyers that best understand their client's business and needs and are able to most effectively execute on their client's strategy--are in-house. BIGLAW is disposable temp labor.

lots of in house lawyers get paid less than even midlevel associates nowadays.

I'd venture to say that BIGLAW associates are currently massively overpaid. There used to be a meaningful difference between non-equity partner pay and associates, now it's almost non-existent.

I'm in-house. I insist that my salary be at least that of a first-year associate, but I get equity.

There was an erisa guy at baker hostetler we wouldn’t let speak with clients. He spoke in jargon and cited cases and shit to people. Absolutely nobody cared about any of it.

2 or 3 years ago I got on a C-suite level call and opposing counsel biglaw partner from the other side wanted to bitch about some technical point on defined terms. It was amazing how poorly he could read the room. I made him look like an asshole.

It’s really no different from a large landscaping company business model - send teams of beaners around to do very paint by numbers work at scale.

This is idiotic.

Yeah in-house does farm shit out to shitlaw type firms when they are under water and need help.

But most of the time when you're paying big law rates its because they have some sort of expertise.

An in-house lawyer doesn't have time to negotiate the deals that are core to their F500's business, plus devoting all the time to learn about issuing corporate debt and then drafting the 1,000 pages of offering documents to go with it.
