I have addressed the topic of age discrimination a few times in this space, usually in the context of displaced (via M&A activity, RIF, or incentivized early retirement) in-house counsel who struggle over age 60 to find traditional direct hire positions.  Former general counsels find it particularly difficult to land contributor level roles, such as Senior Counsel, where they are viewed as overqualified.  I do understand when a company rejects a candidate over this concern.
