🟩 IN-HOUSE COUNSEL: Let’s talk about the 1,000-hour job hunt no one warns you about.

If you’ve spent your career in-house, you weren’t taught to “build a book.”
You were trained to reduce risk, solve problems fast, and think like the business.

You weren’t chasing clients. You were chasing outcomes.

Then the company restructures, divests, or folds your role into something smaller, and suddenly, you’re out.

Not because you failed. Because that’s how the game works.

So what happens next?

You launch into full-time job search mode:
▪️ Resume rewrites (plural)
▪️ Recruiter reach-outs into the void
▪️ IQ tests
▪️ Psych evaluations (this is usually where I got weeded out 🎉)
▪️ Coffee chats with execs who can’t work a QR code
▪️ Nodding through vision decks you don’t believe in

One brilliant GC told me she spent 40 hours a week+ for six months trying to land her next role.

‼️ Over 1,000 hours‼️

That’s a startup.
That’s a book.
That’s a client base.

But instead, it becomes unpaid emotional labor for companies that might ghost you anyway.

Here’s what I asked her—and now I’m asking you:

What if you took those 1,000 hours and invested in yourself?

What if you launched your own fractional GC practice—inside a fractional in-house legal department?

Because here’s the truth:

You don’t have to stop being in-house. At Unified Law:

✅ You’re still in-house. Just typically for 2–4 companies instead of one.
✅ You’re part of a full fractional in-house legal department—with legal ops, admin, and marketing behind you.
✅ You focus on high-value work, not office politics or billable targets.
✅ You serve high-growth, mission-minded businesses that want the in-house brain—but not the law firm $$.
✅ You can work from anywhere.

We built Unified Law to be the modern version of what good fractional legal support looks like.

You’re not walking away from the in-house mindset.

You’re finally putting it to work… for you.

🟡 If you’re a GC, AGC, or in-house all-star, let’s talk.
🟡 And if you’re a founder, operator, or investor who wants this kind of practical, business-minded legal team on your side? We're here and ready to talk.
