EDITOR’S DESK

General counsel have to possess many skills. Being a math whiz isn’t one of them, but in her column this month, recruiter Andrea Bricca makes the case that GCs who want to become CEOs or board members should overcome any aversion to numbers they might have and become conversant enough about the financials to connect with the CFO. That partnership is the key to the C-suite, in her opinion. In other articles, Hillary McNally reflects on the way the pandemic separated nimble law departments led by true generalists from those that were slow to adapt, and Ken Hagen discusses a method for mass arbitrations that minimizes filing fees. For our General Counsel Interview we talk to Steven Routburg, GC of Rotary International.
