Role of the General Counsel

The General Counsel is the chief legal officer and a source of legal guidance on matters impacting the company. The General Counsel role encompasses both legal and business responsibilities and it includes responsibilities related to strategy, governance, certain regulatory compliance matters, legal oversight of operations, risk management, and compliance programs. 

​

As managers face increasingly complex regulatory environments, technological disruptions, and heightened investor expectations, the General Counsel is often called upon to protect and offer guidance on a variety of topics encompassing legal, compliance, and business judgments. The General Counsel also plays a pivotal role in both the company’s transactional and litigation matters, operational best practices, investor communication and risk mitigation.
