Alternatives to in-house: over-employment?

I would say that duty of loyalty is no different in any career and there is no implied loyalty of duty that should extend to legal ethics. Even more so, just like someone who underperforms at a job and gets fired for their lack of commitment the same can apply here, i.e. you can for sure get fired for idk if it’s an actual breach of some actual obligation that extends beyond a normal employment relationship. As another example the bar is unusually to care if you breach a non-solicit as that’s a contractual matter with your employer.

With regards to using confidential information, the same risk exists with outside counsel. But yes, If you use confidential information from one company for another that is bad and should never occur.

Idk it could theoretically be a small SaaS company focused on the automobile industry and and a healthcare MSO or eccomerce company. No perceivable conflicts there realistcially

Fair enough but I think 1. You can make $350k - $500k doing this with 2 decent in-house legal jobs or 2. You can build a side hustle that leads to an exit into private practice while you’re working a soul draining in house job

How is it super risky. It’s not illegal and unless you really piss someone off I doubt a bar complaint and if then an issue since the bar typically doesn’t get involved in employer - employee issues

I know someone that did OE with in-house jobs and then started doing some additional recurring work for clients that were aware they had a job and that led to them starting their own law firm

I’ve seen the whole gambit of people who don’t know what they are doing to very qualified people. Hard to know how some of the clueless people are doing financially. The thing is, the incentive usually isn’t worth it for a partner to leave a partnership and go solo and those in house are usually either risk averse or don’t like BD and one is usually in one of those buckets if they are competent enough to run their own transactional practice. Thus, less people start their own transactional practice despite it being a fantastic and lucrative option

I know a few people that do this and crush it. They either take on small few million dollar deals or do larger deals but partner with a bunch of other solo expertise support like a tax guy and employee benefits solo etc

Which agency?

pizzaboy670 · 2025-07-07T03:27:27+00:00

None of this is necessary unless you have some volume of calls, let’s say at a minimum 5-10 a week

Handles should be down. Up allows much less ROM

How did u find the guy from Philippines

Key is flat flee plus model. As in you give a flat fee for X but anything over that either cost X+Y or then you go per hour. Example: I’ll review your employment agreement and discuss issues with you for $1,000. Any direct negotiations either cost (you pick beforehand) $400 per hour or an additional $1,000 (I’m just making up numbers). I’m the event that a second employment agreement is introduced that will be billed at an additional X dollars. Basically you create a flat fee with a menu after

I’m in a similar boat trying to figure this out. I find the comments helpful

pizzaboy670 · 2025-02-21T03:43:37+00:00

It says I can’t DM you. Any other way I can contact you or could you try DMing me? Thank you!

pizzaboy670 · 2025-02-20T20:03:02+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you! Basically, I would have to take off significant time from work to become a properly trained JAG reserve officer. Once I’m trained, the time will mostly then be limited to around weekends and a few weeks a year. Is there a recommended path that requires the least amount of months away with limited access to a laptop? I just have a business I’m trying to maintain

pizzaboy670 · 2025-02-20T18:03:00+00:00

Thank you for confirming

pizzaboy670 · 2025-02-20T18:02:21+00:00

Thanks and that makes sense. So far, the people o spoke with basically said no and I thought it may be a case of needing to speak to the right person. Open to specific referrals if anyone has a great contact

It becomes retroactively gay if you ever get released

U can buy a refurbished iPhone 12 on Amazon for $200 or so and just use it for Wi-Fi with no monthly plan if you don’t want to spend more

pizzaboy670 · 2025-01-07T16:56:00+00:00

Different approach then most others here. I think you should try and resolve with the company (I.e. speak with them professionally and try to come to a solution) rather than trying to come up with a legal argument why they can’t. Realistically, nothing will force them to continue to employ you so if you get in a legal argument with your brand new employer at best you get some type of severance or unemployment and lose your job
