General Counsel

Looking for your next GC role?

Whether you’re looking to secure your first, or next General Counsel role, the team are on hand to guide you every step of the way. 

In-house legal teams face a greater range of challenges than ever before, with increasing digitisation across the healthcare and life sciences sectors leading to rising concerns around data protection, cyber security and patient confidentiality.  

More now than ever, executive teams and boards need to be aware of and responding to these issues, with the strategic capacity to make informed decisions at pace. As such, the role of the General Counsel or Legal Director is critical to the overall strength of the leadership team.

Businesses working with or on behalf of the NHS and/or local authorities need to closely scrutinise bids, tenders and contracts to ensure commercial and operational viability. The general counsel and in-house legal team is therefore fundamental in achieving sustainable growth and minimising risk.

CCO works with businesses from across the independent health & social care sector to appoint legal directors and general counsels from both within and outside of the sector, as well as maintaining networks within each of the top advisory firms in the space.
