January proved to be a busy month of companies filling their open positions for general counsel. With the new year push, many major companies such as Eli Lilly and Co., TikTok Inc. and MoneyGram International Inc. named new chief legal officers, with these three moves in particular happening on the same day.

As new legal leaders were hired, others retired or left due to company restructuring. The most high-profile exit was the Alphabet Inc. chief legal officer who retired amid sexual misconduct accusations. Jack in the Box Inc. named a new chief legal officer in anticipation of its longtime one leaving next month, along with other executives and eventually the CEO, after a franchisee lawsuit. Washington Redskins “mutually parted ways” with its general counsel, who had worked with the NFL team for 17 years, and named a successor two weeks later.
