General Counsel

A general counsel can be one of the most important executive officer within your company. Having the right attorney to manage the complexities of your company’s legal needs allows you to focus on business growth and innovation, and avoid costly litigation. Unlike standard executive search firms, Gibson Arnold & Associates, Inc. (GAA) has 29 years of exclusive involvement in the national legal community, which gives us the experience and contacts to meet your company’s precise requirements. That is why GAA has successfully found general counsels for companies across all industries and of all sizes – from startups seeking their first legal officer to Fortune 100 companies seeking an experienced general counsel.

GAA will provide guidance and consulting throughout the search process. Our team will meet with you to gain an understanding of the role your chief legal officer will play in your executive team and the skills necessary to manage your company’s legal department. We recognize the complex issues that your executive legal officer may face, and based on a thorough understanding of your expectations, we use a tailored approach to select only the best candidates. Rather than inundate you with numerous attorney resumes from wide-ranging backgrounds, we will pinpoint the attorneys that meet your profile – someone you want to hire, not someone we want you to hire.
