Deputy General Counsel and other Senior In-House Counsel hold important and challenging leadership positions. They support and advise not only the GC but also other members of the C-suite and, sometimes, the Board. At the same time, Senior Counsels are business partners with the rest of the enterprise and have their own teams to lead. However, as we have heard from many of these leaders and their GCs, there are often very limited opportunities to discuss these leadership challenges with each other and to explore them with experts.

 

To respond to these needs, The Vanguard Network is launching a new Senior In-House Counsel Network and Exchange.

CONTEXT

SENIOR COUNSEL EXCHANGE

Heather French

Networking plays a critical part in our roles today. Vanguard provides a unique platform for senior counsel where candid conversations about real issues can take place and lasting introductions made. I certainly benefited from this on my journey to GC."

PROGRAM

  • Vanguard manages all aspects of the network and moderates the monthly exchanges, applying the expertise it has developed in over a decade of working with hundreds of top executives on leadership programming

  • Membership is selective, including concurrence by the GC/CLO to whom the Senior Counsel reports. More than one Senior Counsel from an organization may participate in an exchange "group", provided that the respective GC/CLO agrees.

  • The exchange will launch on Thursday, September 19, 2024, with a 90-minute virtual exchange that will then run monthly

  • The initial commitment to the exchange is one year, renewable thereafter

  • Seats for each exchange "group" are capped at 20. Additional groups will be formed based on demand.

INVESTMENT

The fee for this program has been kept low by subsidizing it through more established programs and partner underwriting. 

 

Annual network & exchange membership fee:

  • $5,000 (1 Participant)

  • $7,000 (2 Participants)

  • $2,000 per additional participant 

Note that there is a maximum of 2 participants from the same company in any exchange "group". Additional groups will be formed based on demand.

 

CRITERIA: Members must report directly to their organization’s most-senior legal officer, and generally have a title such as deputy general counsel, associate general counsel, managing attorney or counsel.
