    When weighing his post-Senate career options, then-U.S. Sen. Howard "Buck" McKeon rejected an offer from a prominent law firm, opting not to "live his life in six-minute increments." Indeed, it is with fair certainty to state a top reason lawyers in private practice transition to in-house is to escape the billable hour.

    By Justine Young Gottshall | August 3, 2017
