Want to become a General Counsel, Chief Legal Officer or a Chief Compliance Officer? The path to the top often involves navigating a series of upward moves including becoming a Director of Legal, VP of Legal, Head of Legal or a Deputy General Counsel. Deputy General Counsel jobs are often the last step before an in-house attorney reaches a top level position, and many Deputy GCs are either positioned to succeed the current General Counsel or are in a great position to take a General Counsel, Chief Legal Officer or Chief Compliance Officer position at another organization. Remember, sometimes candidates have to look outside of their organization to move up.
