An in-house counsel position can be very satisfying: you really get to focus on the business of a single client and get to move that business forward in an effective way because you are so attuned to the details and practical realities of the company. In-house counsel is frequently positioned to evaluate ways to avoid harm before it happens rather than clean up legal issues after the fact.
