Firms feel very prepared to address emerging issues such as ESG, AI adoption, and cross-border compliance, whereas the majority remain unprepared.

In-house legal departments now operate in a landscape defined by heightened regulatory scrutiny, geopolitical complexity, ESG accountability, and digital risk. General Counsel and Chief Legal Officers must do more than mitigate exposure, they must provide strategic counsel to boards, anticipate enforcement trends, and align with investor expectations.

At August Leadership, we partner with national and international corporations to build impeccable in-house legal teams with leadership that thrives in complexity, aligns legal strategy with business imperatives, and delivers measurable enterprise value.
