Our client, one of the largest and most distinguished physician-led medical groups in the United States, has exclusively retained Solutus Legal Search to assist the company in its search for a Chief Legal Officer.
Reporting to our client’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Chief Legal Officer (CLO) has exemplary relevant legal knowledge and business acumen and is a business and thought partner who is focused on assisting the company in achieving its objectives while managing risk. The CLO manages, directs, and personally handles all corporate and related legal matters for the organization. The CLO also commands a thorough knowledge of California and federal employment laws, health care laws, rules and regulations, and corporate governance to advise senior leaders, the Board of Directors, and members of the management team on all legal affairs.
This executive will serve as a business and legal partner to the CEO, the Associate Executive Directors with responsibility for legal affairs and human resources (HR), the Board of Directors, and service area leaders throughout the organization. The CLO will quickly develop a deep understanding of the company and the company’s business, and will have the strong business acumen necessary to collaborate with and support senior executives, the Board of Directors, and business leaders to achieve business objectives. The CLO also will manage and direct the legal department lawyers and administrative staff, and supervise and coordinate outside counsel to achieve desired results.
