    When Justin Grad went to the University of Iowa's law school, he wanted to land a job at a prestigious firm and get on the lucrative partnership track.Upon graduating in 2009, he did go on to practice corporate law at Latham & Watkins' Orange County, California, office. Grad was involved in mergers and acquisitions and capital market work and was "running my own deals." He loved his job, but 80-hour-plus weeks were not conducive to spending time with his family.
    當賈斯汀·格拉德進入愛荷華大學法學院就讀時,他想在一家著名的公司找到一份工作,并獲得利潤豐厚的合作伙伴關系。2009年畢業(yè)后,他又去了加州的萊瑟姆縣的辦公室實習。格勒參與了并購和資本市場的工作,并“經營自己的交易”。他熱愛自己的工作,但每周工作80個小時都不利于與家人相處。
    總體范圍
    So in 2014, Grad shifted gears into a position as corporate counsel at Amazon in Seattle, where he could indulge his interest in technology and aim for a better work-life balance.He's found the right mix at Amazon, where he is providing legal, compliance and development-related support for Kindle products and associated services. Grad feels he is staying challenged and likes the small team-based practice approach he's found at the company.For many young attorneys, the in-house choice has become an increasingly common route."Corporate legal departments are expanding their teams to bring more work in-house and reduce spending on outside counsel," notes the Robert Half Legal "2016 Salary Guide for the Legal Field." Companies want people "who can handle a wide range of business-related legal matters, including expansion into new products and markets, executive compensation, and labor and employment disputes."
    Amar Sarwal, vice president and chief legal strategist at the Association of Corporate Counsel, has advice for law school students thinking about in-house careers: Take some business courses. Companies want attorneys who are not afraid of math, "are business-minded and who can manage teams," he says.Three-quarters of in-house lawyers in the U.S. earn a base salary between $100,000 and $299,000; half of these earn less than $200,000, according to the association's "2015 ACC Global Census."While many attorneys who make the jump from a law firm to a company can expect a pay cut as a trade-off for enjoying the better hours, Grad says he lucked out with his job change; Amazon's offer was on the generous side. For many in-house attorneys, part of the compensation package comes in the form of company stock.Over time, Grad says, "one can win big or lose big."
    因此,2014年,格拉德在西雅圖的亞馬遜擔任公司法律顧問,在那里他可以滿足自己對技術的興趣,并致力于改善工作與生活的平衡。他在亞馬遜找到了合適的組合,為Kindle產品和相關服務提供法律、合規(guī)和發(fā)展方面的支持。格拉德覺得自己受到了挑戰(zhàn),并喜歡他在公司里找到的以團隊為基礎的實踐方法。對于許多年輕律師來說,內部選擇已經成為一條日益普遍的途徑?!肮痉刹块T正在擴大他們的團隊,以便在內部增加更多的工作,并減少外部律師的支出,”Robert Half legal的《2016年法律領域薪酬指南指出?!肮鞠M麊T工能夠處理廣泛的與商業(yè)有關的法律事務,包括拓展新產品和市場、高管薪酬、勞動和就業(yè)糾紛?!惫痉深檰枀f(xié)會副主席兼首席法律策略師Amar Sarwal對法學院學生的內部職業(yè)生涯提出了建議:參加一些商業(yè)課程。公司想要的是不懼怕數(shù)學的律師,“有商業(yè)頭腦,能管理團隊,”他說。四分之三的美國本土律師的基本工資在10萬美元到29.9萬美元之間;根據(jù)該協(xié)會的“2015年ACC全球人口普查”,其中一半的收入低于20萬美元。雖然許多從律師事務所跳槽到公司的律師都可以預期減薪是為了享受更好的工作時間,但格勒表示,他的工作經歷改變了;亞馬遜的出價是慷慨的。對許多內部律師來說,薪酬包的一部分是以公司股票的形式出現(xiàn)的。隨著時間的推移,格拉德說,“一個人可以贏得大的或大的損失?!?BR>    新興領域
    Prospective lawyers can also explore other in-demand or emerging fields.
    未來的律師也可以探索其他需求或新興領域。
    ? Health care attorney: Robert Half Legal, one of the nation's largest legal staffing companies, forecasts that lawyers with health care expertise will find their skills in high demand by government agencies, medical providers and law firms involved with issues tied to medical research, Medicare fraud and health care implementation. Government projections put job growth for health care attorneys at 23 percent through 2024.
    健康護理律師:Robert Half Legal是美國最大的法律人力資源公司之一,他預測,擁有醫(yī)療保健專業(yè)知識的律師將會發(fā)現(xiàn)他們的技能受到政府機構、醫(yī)療機構和律師事務所的高需求,這些問題涉及醫(yī)療研究、醫(yī)療保險欺詐和醫(yī)療保健的實施。政府預測到2024年,衛(wèi)生保健律師的就業(yè)增長將達到23%。
    ? Data privacy attorney: Cyberattacks and privacy breaches are increasingly top of mind for companies, governments and other entities and so are changes in state and federal regulatory law that are being made to address these challenges. Charles Volkert, executive director of Robert Half Legal, notes that attorneys entering this in-demand practice area are receiving increases of 5 to 7 percent over the average base salaries seen by their peers.
    數(shù)據(jù)隱私辯護律師:對企業(yè)、政府和其他實體來說,網(wǎng)絡攻擊和侵犯隱私的行為日益成為人們關注的焦點,因此,政府和聯(lián)邦監(jiān)管法律正在改變,以應對這些挑戰(zhàn)。Robert Half Legal的執(zhí)行董事Charles Volkert指出,進入這一需求實踐區(qū)的律師的平均基本工資比同行平均高出5%到7%。
    ? Regulated substances specialist: ArcView Market Research reports that U.S. legal cannabis market sales grew from $4.6 billion to $5.4 billion in 2015, driving expansion of law firms' regulated substances practices and even stand-alone cannabis specialties. So far, mostly regional or smaller firms have ventured into advising clients ranging from growers and dispensers to security firms. But big law is also eyeing the potential.
    監(jiān)管物質專家:ArcView市場研究報告稱,美國合法大麻市場的銷售額在2015年從46億美元增長到54億美元,推動了律師事務所監(jiān)管物質的擴張,甚至是獨立的大麻專業(yè)。到目前為止,大部分地區(qū)或較小的公司都冒險為客戶提供咨詢服務,從種植者和藥房到安全公司。但法律也在關注這一潛力。
