Frequently asked questions
Effective preparation starts with researching the law firm thoroughly. Familiarise yourself with its practice areas, client base, culture, and recent developments. Consider why the firm fits your ambitions and what unique value you can bring.
Prepare concrete examples that demonstrate your legal expertise, sense of responsibility, collaboration skills, and communication style. You should also be ready to discuss your motivations, interests, and long-term career goals.
Keep in mind that law firms assess more than legal knowledge alone. Your personality, professional attitude, commercial awareness, and cultural fit are often equally important.
A strong legal CV is clear, concise, and focused on relevant experience. In addition to listing job titles, explain the substance of your work, your responsibilities, relevant areas of law, and the types of matters or projects you have handled.
Tailor your CV to the specific role you are applying for and highlight the expertise, language skills, and competencies that matter most for that position.
Make sure your LinkedIn profile and CV present a consistent professional image. A well-structured CV should quickly communicate who you are, what you bring to the table, and where you want your career to go.
Moving from private practice to an in-house role is a well-established career transition within the legal profession. While both positions require strong legal expertise, the context is very different. In-house counsel work closely with business stakeholders and focus on delivering solutions that are both legally sound and commercially practical.
A successful transition starts with translating your experience into a business context. Consider which industries, organisations, and legal disciplines best match your interests and strengths.
During interviews, focus not only on your legal expertise but also on your communication skills, stakeholder management capabilities, and ability to balance legal risks against broader business objectives.
Some professionals move directly into a permanent in-house position, while others use legal interim management as a stepping stone to gain experience in different organisations and identify the environment that suits them best.

At Vialegis, our consultants have legal backgrounds and experience in both private practice and in-house legal functions.

Many lawyers eventually choose to explore opportunities beyond private practice. Their legal expertise, analytical skills, and client-facing experience are highly transferable and valued across various sectors.
One of the most common career paths is becoming an in-house legal counsel, where legal professionals work closely with the business and contribute directly to strategic decision-making.
Other popular options include compliance, privacy and data protection, risk management, corporate governance, and human resources.
For professionals seeking flexibility and variety, legal interim management can be an attractive alternative. Career opportunities are also growing in areas such as consulting, legal technology, ESG, and project management.
The demand for legal expertise varies depending on industry trends, organisational needs, and market developments. Professionals with experience in commercial contracts, corporate law, M&A, compliance, real estate law, privacy and data protection, employment law, regulatory matters, and Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) and regulated investment funds remain in strong demand.
Organisations are also increasingly looking for legal professionals who can combine legal expertise with knowledge of technology, artificial intelligence, governance, risk management, or ESG.
Because market needs constantly evolve, working with a specialised legal recruitment partner can help you understand which profiles and skills are most sought after at any given time.
Today’s in-house legal counsel is much more than a legal expert. Strong communication skills, commercial awareness, and stakeholder management are essential to translate legal advice into practical business solutions.
Successful legal counsel can simplify complex legal issues, collaborate effectively with non-legal colleagues, and understand the commercial and operational realities of the organisation.
Flexibility, active listening, problem-solving skills, prioritisation, and a strong affinity with technology are becoming increasingly valuable. The importance of these skills depends on the organisation, the role, and the level of seniority.
