Conversations with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/consultants\/jon-coles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jon Coles<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/consultants\/john-spinosa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John Spinosa<\/a> highlight how legal departments are responding to these pressures, what legal professionals value today and why international companies operating in the US are rethinking how they structure their legal functions. This is especially true for businesses looking to build or strengthen their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/our-specialisms\/in-house-legal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in-house legal<\/a> capability as part of their long-term strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"video-outer-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"video-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The changing expectations of the US in-house legal market, with John Spinosa and Jon Coles\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lwLMtR1vq38?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- \/\/ hd-video__wrapper -->\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-candidates-want-from-in-house-legal-roles\">What candidates want from in-house legal roles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legal professionals are looking for roles that offer more than compensation alone. Jon Coles noted that \u201cpurpose driven work is very important, continuous learning, career growth,\u201d reflecting a wider shift in how lawyers assess new opportunities. Today\u2019s candidates want to feel that their work has impact and that their employer supports long-term development within the legal department.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Candidate expectations during the hiring process have also changed. Jon explained that \u201ccompanies that run transparent and streamlined interview processes are going to attract the best talent,\u201d which highlights how closely hiring experience now links to retention and engagement. Clear communication, alignment on expectations and a well-structured process help employers stand out in a competitive US legal recruitment market.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Younger in-house lawyers are also redefining what success looks like. As Jon observed, \u201cI do not think this generation judge success about just compensation. They judge success on what they are doing, their day-to-day tasks, what they believe in and how passionate they are.\u201d This shift means companies must be prepared to articulate their purpose, culture and career pathways clearly if they want to attract and retain legal talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-european-companies-with-us-offices-are-hiring-their-first-in-house-counsel\">Why European companies with US offices are hiring their first in-house counsel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A growing number of European companies with established US operations are choosing to hire their first American in-house counsel. This reflects the increasing regulatory, tax and employment complexities of operating in the United States, as well as the need to build internal capability within their legal functions.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>John Spinosa highlighted one of the biggest early challenges: \u201cOne of the most challenging obstacles is the sticker shock that UK companies see when they want to hire their first lawyer.\u201d Many European employers are unfamiliar with US compensation structures, including the cost of healthcare benefits and other elements that increase total headcount investment. As John added, \u201cUsually there is a 20 to 40 percent uptick in regards to compensation. Health care cost is also an issue.\u201d These differences underscore the importance of understanding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/report\/in-house-legal-and-compliance-salary-guide-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">US legal salary guide benchmarks<\/a> when entering the market.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Despite these hurdles, the long-term benefits are clear. John noted that many companies decide to hire in-house because \u201cinstead of paying a lot of fees in regard to law firms, which are quite expensive here in the US, they come out and try to cut some costs in hiring their first lawyer.\u201d Having an in-house lawyer on the ground allows organizations to manage regulatory change, risk management and day-to-day legal services more efficiently and with closer alignment to business operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-shift-toward-expanding-in-house-legal-teams\">The shift toward expanding in-house legal teams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across the US, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/roles-we-recruit\/general-counsel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">general counsel and legal leaders<\/a> are expanding their in-house teams to support business operations more effectively and reduce dependence on external providers. Jon Coles observed that \u201cthat is a shift that I think we will see more of next year, the company being less reliant on outside counsel,\u201d which reflects a broader trend across the legal industry.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Companies are increasingly investing in legal transformation initiatives that strengthen internal expertise, streamline legal services and support more sophisticated workflows. As John Spinosa described, \u201cWe have seen a number of companies this year go through huge legal transformation projects with regards to creating centers of excellence, having more specialist lawyers, whether that is IP, litigation, M&amp;A.\u201d These developments show how legal departments are becoming more strategic and more deeply embedded in business operations.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>These shifts are also influencing how legal professionals think about career development within the wider US legal market. Many in-house lawyers are looking for environments where legal functions are viewed as strategic partners and where legal services contribute directly to business growth. As companies face ongoing regulatory change and rising expectations around governance, the demand for strong in-house counsel continues to increase. This is creating new opportunities for legal roles across sectors and encouraging employers to invest more thoughtfully in how they structure and support their legal departments.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>The broader market outlook remains strong. John commented that \u201cI think 2026 is going to be a very active year in all sectors. I think the economy is doing well. The job market is doing quite well,\u201d suggesting continued demand for in-house counsel and specialist legal roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-employers-should-take-away\">What employers should take away<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Communicate purpose, culture and long-term development clearly when hiring legal professionals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Understand US-specific compensation expectations when hiring in-house lawyers for American operations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Invest in internal legal functions to reduce dependence on law firms and build long-term capability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expect continued growth in specialist roles as legal departments expand across the legal landscape<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n\t<div class=\"hd-block hd-block-author\" id=\"block_3a86025f9eb798b49af4b667a0ac6e1a\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"eyebrow-group\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"hd-block-job__title is-style-eyebrow eyebrow-group__title\">Author<\/h3>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"cards cards--people\">\n\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"card card--person post-23270 hd_person type-hd_person status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry hd_person_role_type-interim hd_person_role_type-permanent hd_person_sector-banking-and-financial-services hd_person_sector-corporate-and-commercial hd_person_sector-law-firms hd_person_specialism-company-secretarial hd_person_specialism-compliance hd_person_specialism-in-house hd_person_specialism-law-firms hd_person_specialism-risk hd_person_location-us\" id=\"block_3a86025f9eb798b49af4b667a0ac6e1a-person-23270\">\n\n\t<div class=\"card--person__inner\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"card__image-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/nl\/consultants\/john-spinosa\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/01\/John-Spinosa-300x300.jpg\" class=\"card__image test\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, (max-width: 781px) 50vw, (max-width: 1023px) 40vw, (max-width: 1200px) 25vw, 370px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/01\/John-Spinosa-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/01\/John-Spinosa-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/01\/John-Spinosa-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/01\/John-Spinosa.jpg 1000w\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card__titles\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"card__title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/nl\/consultants\/john-spinosa\/\">John Spinosa<\/a><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"card__subtitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/nl\/consultants\/john-spinosa\/\">Executive Director | Head of North America<\/a><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card__location\">US<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card__email\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"card__contact-link card__contact-link--email\" href=\"mailto:johnspinosa@taylorroot.com\">johnspinosa@taylorroot.com<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card__tel\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"card__contact-link card__contact-link--tel\" href=\"tel:+18452247283\">+1 845 224 7283<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card__linkedin\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"card__contact-link card__contact-link--linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/johnspinosa\/\">Connect<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n\t<div class=\"hd-block hd-block-jobs is-style-reduced is-template- alignwide\" id=\"block_4fe133e7bde06975f150d62363d8ddb0\" style=\"\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"eyebrow-group\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"hd-block-job__title is-style-eyebrow eyebrow-group__title\">Jobs<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"cards cards--jobs\">\n\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"card card--job post-122962 job_listing type-job_listing status-publish hentry\" id=\"block_4fe133e7bde06975f150d62363d8ddb0-job-122962\">\n\n\t<a class=\"card__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/nl\/job\/compliance-officer-122962\/\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<ul class=\"card__tags\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"card__tag card__tag--srgroup_job_industry\">Law firm<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"card__tag card__tag--srgroup_job_contract\">Permanent<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"card__title\">Compliance Officer<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card__content\">Compliance Officer &#8211; Law Firm We are seeking a highly motivated Compliance Officer to support a Law Firm with the ongoing development and maintenance of risk management, regulatory compliance, and governance processes.
