OGC Attorneys
CAREERS AT OGC

A Firm Built for Experienced Lawyers

At OGC, former in-house attorneys have the opportunity to do their best work on their own terms — handling sophisticated legal matters, setting their own schedules, and benefiting from dedicated operational support — all while collaborating with a cohort of accomplished peers and contributing to the firm’s growth.

A TEAM OF PARTNERS

A Better Way to Practice—For Lawyers Who’ve Been in the Seat

We built OGC for experienced in-house counsel who wanted to keep practicing at an executive level—without the tradeoffs that come with traditional firms or solo practices. Our firm is designed for attorneys seeking autonomy, meaningful client engagement, and the resources of a full-service back-office team behind them. Here’s what sets us apart:

Practice without the hierarchy

Every OGC attorney brings 15+ years of experience — no associates, no hierarchy. You manage your clients directly while collaborating with colleagues who share knowledge, refer clients, and work together across practice areas.

Design your practice — and your life — on your terms.

Build a practice that fits your life — part-time or full-time, project-based or ongoing. You choose the clients and matters that align with your experience and interests.

Do more of the work that matters.

Focus on practicing law — we’ll handle the rest. Our operations team handles billing, business development, marketing, client success, and IT support, while our tech stack — including Practical Law, Westlaw, Clarivate, and other AI tools — keeps you efficient and connected.

Work directly with decision-makers at great companies.

Our clients include growth-stage innovators and Fortune 500 enterprises who rely on OGC for practical, business-minded counsel. You’ll often work directly with decision-makers and key stakeholders.

Freedom With Impact

THE RIGHT FIT

Who Thrives Here at OGC

At OGC, success isn’t about titles or quotas—it’s about mindset. The lawyers who thrive here share a few things in common.

If this sounds like you, you’ll feel right at home here.

Bring Deep Experience to the Table

You’ve spent 15+ years practicing law, including senior in-house roles.

Prefer Client Impact Over Politics

You care more about solving business problems than firm politics or administrative burdens.

Value Freedom—and Teamwork

You want control over your practice and schedule, but still value collaboration and community among peers who operate at your level.

Think Like a Business Partner

You approach every matter with a practical, business-focused lens, helping clients make smart decisions, not just issue-spotting and legal analysis.

Appreciate Working Among Equals

You enjoy being part of a team of accomplished attorneys who respect each other’s experience and share a commitment to great work.

Bring an Entrepreneurial Spirit

You take ownership of your work, your client relationships and the firm’s shared success. While we don’t measure business development, we value lawyers who see growth as a shared opportunity, not someone else’s job.

WHO WE ARE

Professional Freedom, Shared Commitment

OGC gives partners the freedom to practice on their own terms, supported by a firm that values collaboration and accountability in equal measure. We trust our attorneys to manage their time and clients, and they trust each other to deliver excellence for every client, every time. That mutual respect is what makes our model work—and what makes it rewarding to be part of this team.

  • Yes. OGC provides a 401(k) plan, professional liability insurance, and vacation coverage, along with the flexibility to set your own hours so you can have time for what matters most — family, caregiving, volunteering, or travel.
