General Counsel Jobs Newsletter

Hi, this is Mila Read here.

Senior lawyers often mention to me how hard it is to find career opportunities at General Counsel or Head of Legal level.

As a recruiter I tend to monitor the market and know that there are more roles at senior levels than most lawyers are aware of.

You are busy and despite being open to a new good opportunity, you simple don't have the time to dig into job boards, LinkedIn and your network of recruiters.

So this year we have launched a niche newsletter for senior lawyers looking for GC-level roles. It's called - rather unimaginatively! - "General Counsel Jobs Newsletter".

You can find it and subscribe to it here → www.general-counsel-jobs.com

Simply put, this newsletter an aggregator of in-house legal roles at senior level that offer an opportunity to lead the legal function and / or the legal team:

• General Counsel
• Deputy General Counsel
• Associate General Counsel
• Head of Legal
• Legal Director

It gives you a chance to stay informed of what comes to the market in just 5 minutes a week, right from your usual inbox.

To be clear: although I am a legal recruiter, these are not my roles. The newsletter is my side passion project that I hope you will find of value.

Here is a copy of a recent issue of GC Jobs.
