In-House bro at mega corp here that's interviewed about 10 ppl so far. This is a good response. I'd also add that you want to express interest in collaborating with others on various projects from start to finish. Not sure what type of position OP is interviewing for but you'll need to tailor it to the position. If you're a pure contract negotiator, well, there is going to be some but not a lot of collaboration. If you're a product attorney, you'll need to work with business and other departments to review, approve, and introduce the new product. When we are looking at a new product, we may go to X firm for tax, y firm for regulatory issues, z firm for EU problems. Those firms only get a small portion of the project, but as the product attorney you're tasked with bringing it all together. That's one of the perks (consequences) of being in-house. You get to see the entire process.
Edit: The work-life balance mentioned by another poster is good, but for that's like 90% of the candidates.

You can say you want a better lifestyle without looking lazy. The way I described it in interviews was that I was at a point in my career (mid level) where I needed to make a decision if I was going to stay at a firm for the long haul or not and that I didn't see myself wanting to make partner, so this was the time to get out and look for other opportunities and xyz company happens to be an excellent opportunity because blah blah blah. I was interviewing with all ex-biglaw people so they all nodded in agreement and they talked about how much they hated firm life. People always like to hire those with the same mindset as their own and personality and cultural fit is a lot more important for in house.
From my experience, some canned response like "I want to really get to know one business" is fine and inoffensive but complete bs that won't really resonate with any interviewer.

Remember there are many many opportunities to win people over with your personality and there are some canned answers that are just direct and correct.
This is one of them. It doesn't give any indication of laziness,which you seem awfully worried about presenting, so stick with the Cr.
BTW you have to ignore nutella in these threads sometimes because she's stupid cool and chill and brilliant and most people want someone like her next to them to make their days brighter.
She could literally huff her own fart in an interview and still seal the deal.

It's best to memorize something that you can use for hard questions, something that kind of answers any hard question. Try to just memorize this for the tough ones and mentally prepared for follow ups: "In house for me, hmmm. Let me share with you my thoughts on it: When she runnin', you never see a hoe come in last, she's so fast she's got a 454 in her ass, you never gonna win that race, put on a seatbelt and don't let her sit on your face, she might kill you in the morning at 2:14, doin' the pussy pop like she from New Orleans. It's been a while more than 10 years past, when you close your eyes you can still see her ass."

Yea, the hard part is that there is rarely equal negotiating power between entities and you have competing interests in a company.
I work at one of the biggest companies, and even we get fucked over because Company Y is the market in A (so we get take it or leave it terms). Sometimes you may need to involve relationship managers to try and get a better deal or terms. This happens often when someone just signs the agreement without reviewing it, and it resurfaces for some unknown reason -- e.g., an amendment or some subsidiary wants to use it too. So, it's your job (x years later) as an atty to say: "Yea, whoever reviewed this was a complete idiot. We need to fix X, Y, and Z. If we can't I need to disclose the issues/potential risk, and you need to approve it."
