ACC Georgia "Unlocking Legal Career Growth: Insights from Today’s Top General Counsel"

Join us for a dynamic and candid panel discussion featuring successful General Counsel and seasoned legal recruiters as they share the real-world strategies that help in-house lawyers advance their careers—whether you're aiming for your first promotion or envisioning a future GC role.

Rather than diving into dense legal subject matter, this conversation shines a light on the practical, often overlooked moves that accelerate growth: positioning yourself for visibility, expanding your skill set, seeking out cross-functional opportunities, and demonstrating leadership long before it appears on your title. Panelists will reflect on their own journeys, discuss the traits and behaviors they see in rising legal leaders, and offer insight into what differentiates those who steadily advance from those who stall.

You’ll learn:

• How high-performing in-house counsel set themselves up for advancement
• What GCs look for when identifying emerging leaders on their teams
• Strategic ways to broaden your expertise—such as volunteering for projects or learning new areas of the business
• How to think about career progression, from early milestones to senior roles
• The evolving skill sets required of modern legal leaders

Whether you're exploring leadership growth, actively preparing for your next step, or simply curious about how others navigated their path, this session offers accessible, honest, and actionable guidance from those who’ve been there.
