Companies

Chief Legal Officers (CLOs) and deputies have one of the most challenging corporate jobs. Like all senior executives, they must perform in highly dynamic environments, working with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Board, their Executive peers, business leaders, control functions, and internal teams to advance the objectives of the company.

CLOs and deputies also have the specialized role of acting as trusted counselors to the CEO and the Board while maintaining a duty to the organization and a level of independence. The best ones are well-tuned into evolving trends regarding flexible work, artificial intelligence, generational succession, and the shifting DEI landscape. They also serve as the moral compass on risk, culture, and ethics.

Law Firms

Under the best of circumstances, law firm leaders have a challenging job. They succeed as a partner based on the quality of their work and the strength of their practice. As leaders, however, they must attend to a wide range of management responsibilities. These can extend outside of their comfort zone, including training new attorneys, evaluating and retaining talent, setting budgets, developing business, and overseeing national and international practices. Add in flexible work, artificial intelligence, generational succession, and the shifting dei landscape, and the challenges just multiply.
