The attractiveness of moving in-house continues unabated for lawyers wishing to develop their intellectual and entrepreneurial business skills. It is even a serious alternative to partnership for a select few who reach the top. Roles are now increasingly well paid and offer a quality of life which many feel to be superior to life in private practice.

The majority of roles tend to be for commercial contracts lawyers or company/commercial lawyers who can turn their hand to a range of legal work which might not have always been their forte. Also, depending upon the nature of the particular company, organisations do seek employment, property and litigation specialists, or solicitors with sector specific skills like financial services, telecoms, technology or construction.
