About the 14-Page Guide
This 14-page guide equips senior legal leaders to excel in CEO-level General Counsel interviews by distilling the key themes CEOs care about most: strategic judgment, governance strength, crisis leadership, clarity in communication, and cultural impact. It provides a structured preparation framework, targeted practice questions, sample answers, and a clear, CEO-friendly approach for crafting concise executive-ready examples. You’ll learn how to articulate your GC philosophy, demonstrate alignment with the CEO and board, navigate high-stakes risk decisions, and show up as a credible, steady, and strategic partner. The guide also includes an extensive set of follow-up questions to ask the CEO, guidance on tone, and insights into what CEOs are truly evaluating, so you enter the conversation confident, prepared, and ready to lead at the highest level. Finally, this guide will serve as reference material for any GC Interview Prep Refresher sessions offered in 2026.
