The In-House Lawyer Pathway

🌟 Curious about the growing legal career pathways? 🌟

Legal jobs once had a very clear and singular path: get a law degree, join a law firm, climb the ranks, and hopefully make partner. But today’s legal landscape offers much greater career diversity and new opportunities to carve out the career path you want.

This is especially true for in-house roles, which have grown considerably over the last decade and continue to evolve in the current market. Recent data shows an increase in in-house legal vacancies, particularly in FinTech, energy, manufacturing and commercial property. There are also public sector opportunities as well.

In-house jobs are a step away from billable hours and client chasing. Instead, these roles are multi-disciplined, require greater risk-taking, and push you to develop strong working relationships with people from across departments and industries.

They offer a fast-paced and challenging environment but also provide greater opportunities for hybrid working and broadening your skill-set.

Exploring in-house roles can be a smart career move if you want to widen your legal experience and impact directly on business operations. If this is a path you want to take, then get in touch with us.
