4th year biglaw looking into inhouse - what's good pay?

[Anonymous]

Nlj 250, corporate lit. I want to go inhouse - what sort of compensation can I expect ?

[Anonymous]

Varies way too much to even speculate, and general litigators are not in high demand.

$80k-$130k.

low 100s - 150 maybe?

We don't hire people with so few years of experience, so I have no idea.

Without knowing specifics and what your actual experience is, it is hard to tell.

The most recent "younger" lawyer that we hired was a 6th year and we brought him in at $120k and he was in a hot area for our company (not litigation). The most recent liitgator we hired came in as a 7th year with extensive IP litigation creds from a smaller firm and she came it at $150k.

Just a heads up. A just hitting mid-level corp lit associate from a NLJ 250 firm would really have to prove the value add to that hire. We get CV's from NLJ 250 partners that don't get past the screen. So be prepared to really tell your story - especially if you are lookinf for a certain salary. GL.

If you're in house in tech field, closer to $200.

I'm in-house counsel for a small tech govt contracting company and I make 160k plus a small bonus, with 10 years' experience.

For a 4th year corp litigator? Wow.

I am a PP who had the IP litigator making $150,000 and that seems out of market to me.

$175-185 K.

No, you're right. I meant $200k for in house in tech field…did not mean that the 4th year would qualify for that job. Would need more experience, time, connections, etc.

Only 4 years out is too junior to be hired in house at many companies, including mine.

I work in tech and don't think that there's a bump up over other sectors. You would have to be rather senior and perhaps manage at least a small group to make $200K in-house.
