For most general counsel and other in-house leaders throughout the world, the C-suite is the place to be, according to a first of its kind study from Global Leaders in Law and Morrison & Foerster.
Of the 200 senior corporate counsel in the U.S., Asia and Europe who participated in The GC {Re}defined, study released today, 81 percent believed it was fundamental for them to have a seat at the C-suite table. And nearly 40 percent of GCs believed their next career move would be stepping up to serve as CEO.
“Because that seems to be the natural evolution of where the GC role is heading, a lot of GCs have picked up that cue and said it makes logical sense to lead an entire organization,” said Bradley Wine, global co-chair of Morrison Foerster's litigation department in Washington, D.C.
