Lots more dumb people in-house than there are in the law firm. Be prepared. [/quote]

PP here.  That is why lawyers have such a bad name.  LOL Relatively speaking, everyone at my project driven company is "smart" and good at what they do.  And the PP is right - you have to learn the business and what motivates your business people.  I have survived in my position because I am viewed as a team member and there is mutual exchange of information and ideas.  I am not the big bad lawyer who thinks she knows everything and is smarter than everyone in the room.  That attitude may work in a big firm (it did at my prior firm), but it will be poorly received in-house.  It is delicate balance - you have to exude enough confidence that the executives trust your judgment, but you also have to be relatable enough to be considered part of the team. [/quote]
