Not really no. In-house counsel are hired pretty much exclusively from the ranks of associates at firms with several years experience. I guess most big companies don't like to pay and build out the capacity to to develop in-house legal talent when they can just let the law firms do it.

The legal hiring model is like the opposite of a "let the talent rise" kinda system. It's pretty depressing. If you don't get tracked with a good job early on, good luck with decent-paying private sector work.
