Executive Education supporting the GCs of tomorrow
A 12 month program of professional coaching and upskilling.
With ever changing business priorities and expectations, the role and skillset of the general counsel is evolving. Increasingly, the job description includes the responsibility of more than just the “day job” of purely legal work.
GCs are required to be part of general business considerations, be mindful of new technology to improve process efficiency, and sustainably lead teams of high-performing lawyers. The role requires GCs to be well-rounded professionals, with skills beyond legal technical excellence.
McCullough Robertson is committed to supporting this holistic growth and development of legal professionals through our executive education program, tomorrow’s GC. This first-to-market course focuses on equipping the leaders of tomorrow with the soft skills and knowledge required to thrive in their role – now and into the future.
