General Counsel Boot Camp Applications Open
General Counsel Boot Camp (GC Boot Camp) is an innovative 12-month course for in-house attorneys who want to advance to the position of general counsel.
Our immersive program provides skill-building opportunities, coaching from senior leaders and experts and peer support from fellow industry leaders. GC Boot Camp is ideal for mid- to senior-level in-house counsel on a career path to general counsel, with experience leading a team and recruiting and developing talent. Candidates should be 12-24 months away from the GC role, but law firm partners with significant in-house experience are welcome to apply.
Only a limited number of participants will be accepted in the program which begins November 8th with an in-person introductory session following ChIPs Global Summit 2023 in San Francisco. Applications close on August 11, 2023.
