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.
Don’t forget to check back here daily as new jobs are added frequently. Some articles relating to GC jobs are also included below the links to the job postings, as they are just as relevant for Deputy General Counsel jobs and similar positions as they are for jobs at the top rung.
