Thinking about Going In-House: How to Best Position Yourself for an In-House Counsel Job

Friday, May 31, 2013 at 11:00am ET
With Patricia Paul, Director, PeterSan Group

Many law firm practitioners are attracted to the idea of working for an in-house legal department. In-house counsel positions often offer the promise of better hours, greater control over workflow, and more involvement with company decisions. But how do you position yourself for those in-house opportunities? During this webinar, we will explore a variety of topics including:

• How In-House Practice Differs from Law Firm Practice
• Timing Your Move In-House
• Networking
• Working with Legal Recruiters
• Questions to Ask When Looking at an In-House Role
