How much salary would a lawyer be willing to work in the company for a long time instead of taking on his own business?

It is not easy to recruit lawyers who have been practicing for more than 3 years. In second-tier cities, the monthly salary is less than 20,000 yuan. The bureau and the Lawyers Association are relatively strict in investigating and punishing full-time lawyers who illegally take up corporate legal affairs. Therefore, once becoming a company's legal affairs, it means canceling the lawyer's practicing certificate, and the lawyer's practicing certificate can only be obtained after a year of internship, and the income during the internship is also very meager. , so the economic cost of one trip is very high. If you are a graduate with a legal qualification certificate or a trainee lawyer who has just entered a law firm as an intern or a practicing lawyer who has just passed the internship period, it should be easier to recruit. Based on the current market situation in my area, the salary should be around 10,000 yuan, which is relatively Reasonable.

For practicing lawyers, it is more attractive to work part-time as corporate legal advisors. On the one hand, for individual lawyers, they can still hold a lawyer's practicing certificate and can work when they encounter suitable cases. Act as a lawyer. On the other hand, for an enterprise, the hiring of a legal consultant is a contractual relationship, and the enterprise does not need to pay social security and provident funds for the legal consultant, while the recruitment of full-time legal staff is a labor relationship, and the company needs to pay social security and provident funds for the legal staff. Especially for start-up companies, hiring legal consultants can save a lot of labor costs.

When companies want to recruit full-time legal staff, they simply hope that legal practitioners can provide in-depth services to the company or worry about the legendary situation of "the lawyer eats the plaintiff and eats the defendant". If it is the first situation, it can usually be solved by raising the attorney's fees. If it is the second situation, I think this situation is relatively rare now, especially large law firms have OA systems to search for conflicts of interest. If it is found that there is a conflict of interest between the two parties, the party who applied later will not be able to obtain the name of the law firm. If the documents are issued, the lawyer will not be able to carry out relevant agency activities.

Most real lawyers do part-time legal work. Except for those young people who have no case sources and don’t like litigation, such people will do full-time legal work.

If a well-known lawyer practices law, it will be very expensive, and if it is cheap, your company will not be at ease.

It’s really cheap and can cost as little as 100,000 yuan, but there are relatively few of them. Small companies may be able to find part-time legal counsel for 50,000 yuan.

The level of full-time legal services is mediocre, with less than 200,000 a year, and it is estimated that no one will do it.

In fact, as long as the legal affairs department is not a part-time job for a large company, it will be fine. Come here when needed, and there is no need to stay in the company.

I don’t work anyway

No matter how much I pay, I don’t want to work in a company. What I like is that the lawyer profession is a freelance profession. If I consider working in a company, I will go to a company after graduation. If there are still lawyers who want to work in a company, it means they are not suitable for this industry. Everyone will consider whether to change careers based on their interests, hobbies, ability to withstand stress, and income status.

If a lawyer is willing to work in a company, he must value the future development space and not simply focus on the salary offered by the current company. This issue is complex and depends on the size of the company, the complexity of the business and the specific legal requirements.

1. Legal Affairs Settings

2. Legal Advisors

The company’s specific legal needs need to be comprehensively balanced before making a decision.

This depends on personal choice and personal attitude towards work; some people like a more stable job, some people like challenging work; some people like a nine-to-five job, and some people like a 9-to-5 job. Like relatively free work, these will determine the choice of work. Sometimes it is not just a matter of money. The company is willing to promise high-paying lawyers. This is enough to show that such lawyers are not ordinary small lawyers, but lawyers with small achievements and a stable source of cases. The key still depends on the future of the company. Development prospects and lawyers’ current life and career plans.

This mainly depends on personal character and opportunities rather than salary. Some people naturally like challenges and will never work in a company. Some people like to be comfortable, as long as they can live. Some people want to work in the company for a long time, but they don't have the opportunity. Some people want to make their own way in the world but don't have the ability. Therefore, the key whether to work in a company or to take on business yourself depends on your own survivability.

Generally speaking, young lawyers who have been practicing for less than five years may choose to work as full-time legal counsel for the company when their annual salary is not less than 300,000, but senior lawyers who have been practicing for a long time and have strong professional capabilities will not choose to do so. Working full-time in a company to practice law is because although full-time practice has a stable income, it limits the lawyer's business development. It has the disadvantages of narrow contact area, single business, and slow income and salary increase. Therefore, capable lawyers should still be full-time practicing lawyers, travel independently in the legal service market, have wider contact with society, and diversify legal affairs, which is conducive to the rapid improvement of personal abilities in all aspects, and thus the income will also grow rapidly. , more adaptable to society, and conducive to maximizing the realization of one's own social value.

Lawyers are a highly independent profession. If they are locked up in a fixed unit for a long time, it will not be conducive to long-term development. Moreover, as far as Chengdu is concerned, full-time lawyers are not allowed to work part-time in companies.
