When Your General Counsel Seat Is Empty, Risk Doesn’t Wait.

When a General Counsel or Chief Legal Officer role is vacant, legal direction fractures. Regulatory strategy slows. Risk tolerance goes untested. Commercial decisions stall. Outside counsel spend expands – quietly and without internal counterbalance.

This is where the right search partner changes the trajectory. Princeton Legal Search Group partners with CEOs, Boards, and Chief Legal Officers to secure seasoned in-house legal leaders when the exposure is greatest and the margin for error is smallest. We combine institutional knowledge of your business with enduring access to undisclosed legal talent, delivering legal leaders who possess the judgment, credibility, and strategic discipline to strengthen the enterprise from day one.

Our work is fully embedded in the in-house legal market. We spend every day engaging with senior legal leaders and have built trusted relationships, acquiring the hiring insights required to execute high-stakes searches with confidence, transparency, and discretion.
It is this depth of engagement that leads those same leaders to rely on us when it’s their turn to build their own legal teams.

Since 1999, we have achieved a 100% placement success rate across every senior General Counsel and Chief Legal Officer search we’ve conducted, as measured by leaders who deliver impact to organizations navigating M&A, CEO transitions, market expansion, and increasing enterprise complexity.

The right legal leader reduces risk before it materializes. Our commitment is to secure that leader, with precision and certainty, the first time.

“I was a Partner as a Top 100 Law Firm. I wanted to move in-house but to work somewhere that was a good fit both professionally and personally. David achieved that result. From the first time I met David until my acceptance of the offer to become General Counsel, David provided perfect guidance. David was professional, understanding, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, honest. David and I worked together to navigate a lengthy and extensive interview process. David continuously updated me about the process and provide excellent advice. David is an excellent recruiter and advisor and all-around great guy. I highly recommend David and his team.”
