Chief Legal Officer/ General Counsel
Think you are ready to take the helm?
If you're eyeing the pinnacle of in-house legal careers, stepping into the role of Chief Legal Officer or General Counsel could be your defining move - get in touch.
In our podcast, Lessons I Learned in Law, we have met with and interviewed 100’s of CLO's and General Counsel, so we have a good understanding of the role.
This position is not one-size-fits-all; the scope, influence and what the job title entails vary widely from start-ups to FTSE-listed giants. Whether guiding a burgeoning enterprise through its formative legal battles or steering a major corporation through a complex global compliance landscape, the right General Counsel can profoundly impact a company's trajectory.
Our expertise isn't just in placing talent; we excel in defining and sculpting the legal function to fit the precise needs of your organisation. We've successfully conducted retained searches that have placed top-tier General Counsels, each tailored to the specific dynamics and scale of the businesses they serve.
If you're contemplating how to shape your legal department, require benchmarking for best practices, or need to plan for succession, our team is equipped to guide you.
Let's discuss how you can lead not only a department but drive the entire business's legal strategy.

Do you view yourself as a "GC to Be"? Ready to ascend to a role where your influence transcends mere legal advice to impact strategic business decisions?
Call it Head of Legal, Legal Director, Regional General Counsel, Associate General Counsel, or something else; this pivotal role is crucial in crafting the framework of your company’s legal strategies. It directly liaises with senior management and reports to the General Counsel or CLO.
This position could suit seasoned legal generalists who love managing people. It often presents the opportunity to move away from day-to-day business as usual and focus on people management.
Alternatively, if you are a specialist with deep expertise in areas like privacy, competition law, or regulatory affairs, the Head of Legal title might be seen as an opportunity to align your career as a Subject Matter Expert. This pathway allows you to focus on and lead in your area of expertise, driving significant decisions and policies that affect key aspects of business operations. It’s a position that not only highlights your in-depth knowledge but also your critical importance to the strategic management of the company. For Legal departments, carving out additional management roles can serve as an excellent method of retaining top talent by providing new challenges and opportunities for growth.
If you're looking to restructure your legal department or plan for succession, these roles are instrumental.
