Business Programs & Courses for future-oriented General Counsel

based in the Netherlands

Time to go beyond legal excellence

The General Counsel Academy® – founded in 2016 and based in the Netherlands – offers world class short-term and tailor-made academic business programs for future-oriented General Counsel and Chief Legal Officers and other ultimate responsible in-house lawyers from all over the world. Instead of becoming better lawyers, our programs help GCs become better leaders and trusted business advisors at CEO level.

The C-Suite and their companies need forward thinking GCs and CLOs who not only ensure that companies stay out of serious trouble, but who understand the real challenges of the C-Suite and have the strategic and leadership skills to make things happen. Therefore, our business programs combine the best leadership education with many case studies and interaction with a lot of GC peers. Always practical and tested against the specific role that a GC/CLO has within his or her company.
