Bros,
How realistic is it of a risk that an inhouse job may be eliminated due to a merger or acquisition.
Typically, how much time do they give you to find another job?
I have roughly 2.5 years of "regional biglaw" experience.

It's a big risk if you're on the target side, especially if you're transactional, securities or some other type of corp and will be redundant. You're a bit safer if you're in with a business line, but after integration you'll probably be on your ass.
As to how much time...the time between closing and 9 a.m. the next day. It's no secret.

Im sure often you are aware of the transaction before hand usually a couple of months right?
They will lay you off right after the merger or acquisition?

I'm trying to evaluate that risk going inhouse vs staying at my law firm for another year before leaving.
If I get axed, will it suck a lot more for someone who only has 2.5 years of law experience vs someone that might have 3 or 4 years?
Any risk that if the GC gets replaced the whole staff might get replaced?

it's basically impossible to assess the risk unless you know what type of company this is and how realistic they are a target for an acquisition. for instance, you didn't say if they're a public or private company. i work at a private company and they are at a higher risk for being acquired than a public one. that is just one of many factors.
i can say that w/o knowing more, if you have 2.5 years of law firm experience and 1.5 of in-house, you will be a lot more desirable for another in-house position than 4 years of law firm experience. you will not be able to go back to a firm after you leave though.
also, it's more likely that you'll get "the talk" by the law firm before you land another in-house position than you being out on the streets b/c your company was acquired.
