True. But services you need all the time are or at least should be much cheaper in house. I mean your inhouse lawyer probably costs 100/h, outsourced 400/h.


Where do you find such cheap in-house counsel? just 100/hr? Never seen them this cheap, maybe out of school, but experienced counsel for 100/hr?


According to BLS, median hourly earnings of a lawyer in the US is merely $59.11.

Total compensation for most attorneys even in high CoL cities at Big Tech firms doesn't eclipse $150/hr. That's hourizing an annual wage of $300k.


Germany? So lets say 25/h is overhead (office space etc), 1680 workhours per year, so about 125k. Taking 80% to calculate the employees gross salary gives 100k annual. As far as I understand this is a very decent salary.

How much do you pay inhouse councils in your country?


varies a lot. 100k would be a newbie. probably from 150 to 250++?
