The general counsel, often titled chief legal officer (CLO) at larger companies, is the same top legal job under two names: the GC or CLO runs the legal function and sits with the CEO and the board on the decisions that carry the most risk. The job mixes legal advice with leadership: building and budgeting the legal team, managing outside counsel, overseeing compliance and governance, handling crises, and helping the business grow. At startups and smaller companies the GC may be the first and only lawyer; at public companies the role usually includes corporate secretary duties and a seat on the executive team.
Browse current general counsel jobs and chief legal officer jobs below, updated daily. Many GC searches run through executive recruiters; our legal recruiters directory lists 360+ US firms by city.
Most general counsel come up through a legal department as deputy GC or associate GC, or move over from a law firm partnership. Read our guide to becoming a general counsel, check what GC roles pay in our in-house counsel salaries guide, and see our guide to negotiating an in-house job offer before you sign.
