Choose the right perspective

Match the person's scope to your question: firm-level legal leaders suit questions about governance and the overall legal function, while divisional and regional counsel suit questions about a specific business line, product or jurisdiction. Check whether the role is current and which entity or division it covered before asking about recent practice.

Questions to take into the conversation

  1. 01How does a global bank split legal responsibility between firm-level, divisional and regional counsel?
  2. 02What does a divisional general counsel do day to day to support deal teams or a lending business?
  3. 03How is litigation and regulatory work coordinated across regions when the same matter touches several jurisdictions?
