In-house counsel jobs were not very popular in the past as most lawyers preferred to become litigators or get into law firms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But now, in-house legal jobs are becoming more important, better paid, and in greater demand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It offers a better work-life balance, a chance to work on a variety of issues and develop a broader legal skill set. As a result, a lot more people are now considering moving in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Companies are now spending more on in-house teams than outside law firms because in-house legal teams are doing more of the work that law firms used to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This shift is changing the way the legal industry works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As more companies become formalised, there is increased capital inflow not only in large corporations but also in SMEs and at the startup level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Business owners are also waking up to the fact that they can reduce risks and legal bills by having in-house counsel. They still go to law firms for specialist expertise, but for routine contracts, compliances, or legal strategy, they prefer to have in-house teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They often cut down their legal bills by 70-80% by hiring in-house legal teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is very little competition for in-house counsel jobs because while many people want these coveted jobs, most do not even understand what skills will enable them to qualify for these roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Law students think they are ineligible to get jobs as in-house counsel teams, but this is not true. In fact, some companies with big legal teams are happy to hire freshers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The average starting salaries for in-house counsels are currently around 8 LPA for entry-level positions, and after 10-15 years, you could earn up to 1 crore per annum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you become a seasoned CLO, you could earn anywhere between 3 crores and 10 crores or even more, which is on par with the earnings of law firm partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before 2020, the richest lawyers were often founders or senior partners at big law firms or top senior advocates at the Supreme Court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2024, the richest lawyer is likely someone who joined a startup early, acquired equity and held their shares until the startup went public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In India, lawyers at startups such as Zomato, Paytm, and PolicyBazaar have made a lot of money from their ESOPS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many large conglomerates and new-age firms are looking to strengthen their in-house legal teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Industries that need in-house counsel include banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), technology, media and telecom (TMT), manufacturing, infrastructure, large conglomerates, and new-age digital firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Becoming an in-house counsel can be the next breakthrough for your career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, most lawyers do not have a roadmap to prepare for this opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want a stable career which offers a good starting salary, consistent growth and a good work-life balance, then nothing beats being an in-house counsel. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
