[Mary Clare Garber @mcgarber]

A leadership transition is coming to the legal profession. As GCs, CLOs, practice leaders, and rainmakers retire, organizations won't just need lawyers. They'll need leaders.

The opportunity isn't who is leaving. It's who is preparing to step forward.

[Mary Clare Garber @mcgarber]

Strong organizations rarely lose precision all at once. They lose it quietly.

The danger isn’t intelligence. It’s a weakened decision filter.

The most valuable lawyers don’t just solve problems. They help stop weaker decisions from advancing.

You don’t get on the GC/CLO shortlist because you’re the smartest lawyer in the room.

You get there because leadership wants your perspective before decisions are made.

Technical excellence is expected. Influence is the differentiator.

Senior lawyers: the interview isn’t the test. It’s the tell.

Every step signals how an organization operates, decides, and leads.
The best candidates don’t just answer questions. They read the system.

Lawyers: it’s not a workload anymore. It’s a multi-front chess match.

AI. Budget pressure. Regulatory change. Cyber risk.
And the “quick question” that isn’t quick.

Stress management today is survival strategy.
