Executive Coaching with Clout
Our team of distinguished legal and compliance leaders have the insight, empathy, and experience to help you take your career to the next level.
Executive coaching is one of the most powerful tools for improving long-term performance and boosting profits for organizations. Consequently, companies have long engaged executive coaches for their General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officers, and other promising future leaders. BarkerGilmore’s distinguished team of former General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officers has decades of experience advising executives and boards of some of the country’s most powerful and respected corporations.
Legal executive coaches with decades of C-level experience.
What sets our experts apart from other consultants is a profound, first-hand understanding of the challenges and issues faced by today’s legal leaders. With 402 years of experience as sitting GCs and CCOs, and 50 Board seats currently held among them, our Advisors offer a unique perspective from strategic roles on both sides of the corporate table — as advisors to the Board and as Board members.
Moreover, each Advisor has an impressive track record of coaching and mentoring in-house lawyers who subsequently became General Counsel themselves, many at Fortune 500 companies. BarkerGilmore is passionate about the advancement of others and ready to mentor you and members of your team.
