Most of the answers are correct, but I feel like they don't give a complete picture.I have been a corporate lawyer in the US since 1986 and I will recount my experiences for you.My path is that of a corporate lawyer starting out in a large law firm and eventually working for a company that is in charge of all legal matters for that company.

I started out in a large law firm and my answer focuses on what it was like to be a corporate lawyer in a large law firm.

Most corporate lawyers follow some version of this same path—the firm may be smaller, hence the experience may be more gentle and the work at a less sophisticated level—but no one passes the bar and hangs out their shingle as a corporate lawyer, as one can do by handling general, small level litigation like divorces and traffic tickets.My first few years at this large law firm were terrible.

As some of the previous answers have stated, I worked 90-hour weeks twice what most people work in a 40-hour week.I missed family gatherings, I missed the world going by outside, and I missed anything that didn't happen in my firm.I had to keep a record of the work I did so the clients could bill me.There were even contests for this dubious honor as I was under constant pressure to bill enough hours.I think just under 500 hours was my best month ever.

In that month, it takes 20 hours a day for almost every day.

I don't understand why I would submit to all that.Well, for a number of reasons: because the pay was the best anywhere; because it was a very prestigious position in the legal world; because the clients I met were twice my age, all men, and the movers and the shakers and the powerful—folks I never would have met as just me; because I was single and had not much else to do and no one to go home to.It was amazing, why?

I loved it.I loved what I was learning as someone who’d never really had to work in school, I was challenged the first time in law school, and challenged even more when learning the practical piece of being a corporate lawyer in a top law firm, because I loved the smart, academic, critical thinking atmosphere, because I knew the work I was doing was, at time, cutting edge and some of the hardest and most sophisticated corporate legal work out there, and honestly, because I loved the prestige of being associated with such a large firm—it’s a huge accomplishment to secure one of those positions even more so now.People respond to your calls.You are to be taken seriously because the respect your firm has rubs off on you, and that's because of the letterhead on which you correspond.If you can make it to the event, you can get tickets to it.

It was a huge investment in my future when I was young enough to work those kind of hours.Think of it as the acquisition of skills, knowledge, and experience at a double-time pace, where one year really equalled two in terms of those things.I played the long game.

The firm made me a partner.Not a lot has changed.My generation of attorneys realized that the law was no longer a profession for the elite ie, those who were already independently wealthy —seriously, the firm I did my summer internship at paid its partners once a year back then! but a business, and that the ability to attract clients was the key to moving up the large law firm ladder.

This is true for any lawyer in a large law firm.I began to build my own business.In a large law firm, having a successful business of your own, where you can not only support yourself but others in terms of paying out of what your clients pay means freedom.Freedom to be left alone, freedom to manage your clients and their matters how you want within reason and the firm’s administrative rules, freedom to, if you choose, take that book and move to another firm who will pay you a higher percentage of the revenues you generate from that book.

My generation was involved in the law firm revolution.It used to be that a senior partner at the firm would tell you what your annual earnings would be, but not necessarily give you a formula for calculating it.

Younger partners used to demand a higher cut of what they brought in or left to go to a firm that would give them that higher cut.You retired from the same firm after joining.It is common for you and your book to move many times over your career.

There is no loyalty or dollars in corporate America.

I took my book to several firms and grew it there.

By the time I had been practicing for 20 years, I had a nice book that I shared with another partner who I had come up through the ranks with.One of our clients that was about to ‘go public’, or make an initial public offering of its shares, invited me to join them as their in-house counsel an attorney who is on the payroll of a company rather than working in a law firm, who only works on matters for that company, and is usually called a General Counsel or a Chief Legal Officer and I have never looked back.I have been an in-house counsel since I was a partner at the law firm, and there is no way I would ever go back to being a partner in a large law firm.

Why wouldn't you?

Because large law firms are very competitive, there are a lot of people in each class who are vying for one or two partner slots after 15 years or so.Most clients don't appreciate the sacrifice.

On Easter Sunday, I had a client call my home only to have my son explain to him that I am a Christian and he shouldn't be calling.When clients of a firm have a problem, they don't respect normal business hours.They call and say they have a problem, and want to fix it for you.If you and your team have to work around the clock for five days preceding a certain day, they want it to happen on a certain day.When it is convenient for your clients, they call.

It is convenient for them to schedule conference calls when it is convenient for you.Politics can be a nightmare if you are a partner.You agree to vote for my associate as a partner, and I will vote for you.I will share a higher percentage of the collections from that work with you if you agree to give me all of the work for your client.

It is exhausting to be on your guard and constantly monitoring your partners actions and horse trades to make sure you are holding or bettering your position, as the horse trading is constant and shifts depending on the horse trades the other partners offer and make.Quality legal services are still important, but the economics of the firm are more important.You can’t just be a good lawyer and not worry about those things—if that’s all you are, a good lawyer, you end up at the bottom of the partner heap, making very little compared to your partners and typically at some point you are un-partnered by the firm because you do not bring in enough business.I was able to make great horse trades and support two partners and three associates, but most of what I did was sell our legal services.I like lawyering more than the selling.

It is not like you can coast on your achievements.

What is the actual job of a lawyer?You can read about that business acquisition in either the Financial Times or Wall Street Journal.Your clients are well known, have large budgets for legal work, and want their problems solved immediately, which is why they are often in the news or the papers.

It involves everything from the basics: incorporating them, drafting agreements among their owners as to who will do what with their equity, reviewing and preparing state of the art agreements for such things as manufacturing, software acquisition, their supply chain agreements, buying and selling other companies, taking them public, etc etc. It’s the top of the game when you are at a large law firm.

I am happier as a GC inside a company with an international business than I was 20 years ago.There are still some midnight calls, but more respect for one's time.I actually spend time with my family now.

I have a lot of money but I could not work if I wanted to.I only have crises that I am needed to solve and not crises that are imagined to be crises.I will get to take a vacation.

The chief legal officer is a respected member of the so-called "C-suite."I understand the workings of my client better than an outside lawyer could.

My days are mostly about mentoring the younger lawyers in my group of 40 lawyers, about teaching them the skills needed to be a good corporate lawyer and to become a GC one day, because I chose a company that does not have a harsh, backstabbing environment.To teach them how to draft the best corporate work product, I share my knowledge and experiences with them.Selling legal services and monitoring my book to make sure it is producing enough is more rewarding than monitoring my partners to see what the order is today.

That is how it has been for me.It may sound terrible, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
