Has any switched from tech trans/sales in-house counsel to corporate generalist in-house counsel?

Post by JudgeBread » Mon Feb 01, 2021 12:11 am

Hi everyone,

I'm a 3.5 year attorney. Started out in big law for a year doing commercial/tech trans, then went in-house for years 2 through now as a tech transactions/sales counsel.

Recently I've been wanting to get off the sales/tech trans treadmill to pivot into more of a corporate generalist role perhaps within my company or at another company.

Has anyone made this type of pivot without needing to go into big law to do M&A etc and then back in-house again? Would appreciate any advice.

I've seen many asking about switching from general corporate to tech trans but not the reverse. Can I ask why you want to go into general corporate?
