Episode 66-Going In-house with David Sclar

Counsel to Counsel - Career Advice for Lawyers

For many lawyers, going in-house continues to be an attractive career option. But the lawyers I speak to have a lot of questions about making a transition to in-house. They ask me about the timing, how to find good in-house jobs, how practicing in a corporate law department differs from private practice and how in-house jobs differ from each other.

In this episode, I speak with David Sclar who has a lot to say on the subject.

David is author of Workplace Strategies for Technology Lawyers, and he is joins me from Washington DC where he works as Healthcare Compliance and Privacy Officer for WW (formerly known as Weight Watchers.)

David began his career doing a clerkship with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. He worked at two AmLaw 100 firms and prior to joining WW, he spent 6 years at a healthcare company until the company was acquired. David has a lot of wisdom to share on going in-house
