Based in Kaukauna WI this position offers hybrid flexibility (12 days remote per week) and direct mentorship from a senior in-house attorney. It is well-suited for a 25-year attorney seeking a supportive well-structured transition into an in-house role.
Why This Role Stands Out
Designed specifically as an in-house transition opportunity
Direct mentorship and hands-on training from experienced in-house counsel
Broad exposure across commercial operational and corporate legal matters
No expectation of prior in-house or manufacturing experience
Hybrid flexibility while remaining Wisconsin-based
This is not a narrow or siloed rolethere is a real opportunity to learn how legal advice fits into day-to-day business decision-making.
