It's a huge win for the employer of the in-house, too.

They can pay an in-house lawyer, say, $200,000 - $350,000/year to mostly not do a whole of anything, but handle all legal issues as needed when they do come up. They are also often allowed to quietly practice a little law on the side.

That's a whole lot cheaper than paying the retainer and billing rates of a firm for the same workload.
