Q: I’m a seasoned GC, but don’t have Big Law Firm training. I’m seeking a new job and have been rejected for a few GC roles because I lack this background. Why is Big Law experience so important at this stage of my career?
A: Employers come in all shapes and sizes. And when it comes to GC hires, so do their requirements. Each executive team possesses a vision of their perfect profile and their own set of priorities and values that govern a GC search. Some of these “must-haves” are based on logic … others, on emotional drivers. So every company … and search differs.
