Synopsis

So you want to go inhouse? Many biglaw associates are intrigued by the notion of going to the inhouse legal team of a corporate. And let me tell you, it's true. It's a good gig. I am a general counsel for a line of business at a Wall Street financial institution. I would never go back to private practice. I meet so many stellar candidates who would do fantastically well if they came inhouse, but I see them continue to trod along the biglaw associate life. I finally had to reveal the secrets as to why no better opportunity is coming their way (except maybe from random headhunter calls here and there). This book shows you exactly how to land an inhouse legal job. Instead of trawling through the internet news during your daily sandwich and drink at lunch, spend your lunch reading this book. It will open your eyes to a whole new world of how we hire for inhouse on Wall Street. It's not just luck or substance that wins. It's beating the system. Because the system is fixed. So please allow me show you how to make it work in your favor. TABLE OF CONTENTS -Foreward -Introduction -Part I – Wall Street's Inhouse Legal Hiring is Fixed.
