About the Role

The Company is seeking a General Counsel for its Delivery Enablement team. This role is pivotal in providing senior legal advice and leading the legal function as the firm expands. The successful candidate will be responsible for a wide range of legal, regulatory, risk, and compliance matters, including overseeing the firm's client contracting framework, regulatory compliance, managing disputes, and advising on employment and corporate governance issues. The General Counsel will also be involved in key initiatives, managing workstreams, and working closely with senior leaders. The ideal candidate should have a Bachelor's degree, a JD from a top law school, and at least 7 years of legal experience, with a background that includes time at a leading law firm and in-house experience at a professional services, consulting, financial advisory, or investment banking firm. Applicants for the General Counsel position at the company should be prepared to serve as the principal legal advisor to the CEO, Board, and executive leadership. The role requires a deep understanding of negotiating client engagement terms, managing professional liability risk, and the ability to act as a trusted partner to practice leaders. Superior communication skills, a high level of attention to detail, and a proven track record of success in high-pressure, client-facing environments are essential. The candidate must be invested in a team-based culture, motivated to collaborate, and willing to work in a fast-paced, high-performance environment. Responsibilities also include leading internal training, supporting talent acquisition, and firm-building initiatives.
