  • A minimum of eight years of legal practice experience.
  • Currently hold or have held one of the senior-most legal positions within their organization, such as General Counsel (GC), Chief Legal Officer (CLO), or Head of Legal.

Additionally, women who are in transition between jobs but previously held such positions and are actively pursuing another similar role are eligible to apply.
