Estrin Legal Staffing’s Post

The in-house legal market is warming up! Over the past 12 months, we saw a slow down in hiring. But, it seems that the market is starting to gain strength. Talking with GCs at VCs, it sounds like their workload is picking up and we're seeing the knock on effect with hiring in the tech space. Businesses focusing on profitability have increased the sizes of their sales teams and the demand for commercial counsels is high. I'm hiring for a few roles currently that are worth mentioning: - Head of Commercial Law (Berlin) - Commercial Counsel (Berlin or remote) - Legal Counsel - Commercial, IP, IT, Privacy (Berlin) DM for more info. #Legal #LegalJobs #InHouseCounsel

Earlier this week I shared a selection of open head of legal ops roles. Here are some openings at the other side of the spectrum: associate, coordinator, and specialist. ⚡️ Legal Operations Associate at Anduril Industries: $72k–$108k ⚡️ Legal Operations Associate at EvenUp: $50k–$65k ⚡️ Legal Operations Coordinator at INSPYR Solutions: $45k–$52k ⚡️ Legal Operations Specialist at Medallia: $71k–$121k ⚡️ Senior Legal Operations Specialist at The Rockefeller Foundation: $98k–$132k ⚡️ Legal Operations Associate at Underdog Fantasy: $65k–$85k ⚡️ Senior Specialist, Legal Operations, Preferred Provider Program at The Walt Disney Company: $77k–$103k Observations: 🎓 I’m seeing true entry-level positions that we haven’t really seen before, ones where experience requirements and comp are more aligned than in recent years. 🎢 There’s a lot of variability in base salary ranges, and with many of the positions open to remote, I wonder how the lower ones will compete for good talent. 🏢 Legal ops used to be the domain of tech and finance, but no more: this list includes defense, staffing, philanthropic, and media/entertainment organizations, too.

When you hire a lawyer, you're not just hiring a lawyer. What you're really hiring is a brand ambassador, business developer, client relationship manager, strategist, firefighter, project management specialist….*breathe*…. technology guru, Wing Attack in the office mixed netball team, and “provider of such other duties as may be reasonably required from time to time”, who just happens to have a law degree. A lot of the work done by in-house legal teams does not require a legal background. That's a problem in itself. When hiring, think about the skills you *actually* need someone to have, and be open to people who might have acquired them in fields outside the law. #lawyers #legalcareers #hiring

I’m a lawyer so I have a lot of #lawyers in my network. I like most of them and would like to find a way to help them. I’ve seen a lot of connections looking for work and others, who are hiring but haven’t found a good way to cross pollinate the information. I’m serving as the Cross Pollination Engineer. 🍀If you’re a lawyer (or legal ops) looking for work, comment below with a brief description of what you’re looking for and where. 🍀If you’re #hiring, comment below with a brief description of the position, where it’s located (or if it’s remote) and how to apply. For everyone else, please share your favorite lawyer joke to feed the beast or tag your favorite LinkedIn lawyer. (This is not an ad. I do not receive any consideration other than good Karma.) #generalcounsel #lawfirm #recruiting

“No one ever got fired for hiring [BigLaw]”. Well, sometimes they should 🤯🤯 As a leader of a legal department, you are responsible for your budget. Full stop. It is 100% your responsibility to get the highest value for every dollar of your already tight budget to accomplish the goals of the department. That’s the job. The same way it’s the job for sales, for marketing, for engineering, for the CEO etc, etc. So, if you’re throwing away your already-too-small budget on the heavy horsepower of BigLaw for work that does not justify the cost and you do not receive the value, then, maybe the age-old adage of “no one ever gets fired for hiring [BigLaw]” should go out the window. Forward-thinking & business-minded GCs are managing their budgets like the rest of the business. Rightsource the work, leverage all of the tools in the toolbox. The choice is no longer just in-house or law firm to get the work done. And those who are stuck believing biglaw or in-house is the only way, well, let’s talk. The only way to get started is to get started. #legalops #legalinnovation #legalservices
