In-House Lawyer is one of the titles we hear most. These are the part-time roles where your experience carries over, what they pay per hour, and the tasks open now. About five hours a week, next to your main job.

In-house lawyers take part-time work as reviewers and advisers: commercial contract review against a playbook, a privacy notice update, policy drafting, or a few hours a month as outside counsel for a small company without its own lawyer. Admission in the task's jurisdiction is required, and the brief states it.
Most in-house contracts restrict outside legal practice, so read yours first and ask for written consent if it is required. Professional rules on insurance and conflicts also apply to side work. The strongest profiles name the contract types and industries the lawyer knows, and the turnaround they can offer.

The same rules apply to every task, so they live on two pages: Pricing explains the 15% fee, prepayment and when you are paid; How it works covers matching, what a company sees and side work next to a job.
