The posting

Our client has exclusively retained Solutus Legal Search to assist with its search for an Associate General Counsel – Corporate, Transactions & Finance. This is a highly visible leadership role reporting directly to the Chief Legal Officer and serving as a key strategic advisor across the organization. The successful candidate will provide sophisticated legal counsel on corporate transactions, finance and tax matters, governance, employee benefits, international operations, and other strategic business initiatives. This position is based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Over time, this attorney will have the opportunity to serve as successor to the CLO.

The company is a well-established, global market leader with a strong reputation for innovation, operational excellence, and long-term growth. The legal department is viewed as a strategic business partner and is deeply integrated into the company’s decision-making processes. The organization values collaboration, integrity, accountability, and practical problem-solving, and seeks an attorney who can balance legal risk with business objectives while supporting growth initiatives across the enterprise.

Responsibilities Include:

  • Support and, in certain cases, lead mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic corporate transactions.
  • Conduct and oversee legal due diligence and assist in structuring, negotiating, and executing complex transactions.
  • Partner with corporate development, finance, and external advisors on deal assessment, strategy, and execution.
  • Provide legal support on financing arrangements, capital allocation initiatives, and corporate structuring matters.
  • Collaborate with internal and external finance and tax advisors to align legal and tax strategies.
  • Support corporate governance, entity management, and the development of corporate policies and compliance programs.
  • Advise on employee benefit plans, including retirement and health programs, and ensure compliance with ERISA and related regulations.
  • Provide legal guidance on international operations, cross-border transactions, and global regulatory compliance.
  • Support the contract management function and provide attorney-level guidance on commercial agreements.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership and business stakeholders, communicating legal risks and practical solutions effectively.
  • Develop and manage relationships with outside counsel while driving efficient and business-focused legal support.

The ideal candidate will possess 12+ years of legal experience, including a combination of top law firm and/or sophisticated in-house experience supporting corporate transactions, finance-related matters, corporate governance, and strategic business initiatives. Experience with employee benefits, international operations, tax structuring, and complex commercial matters is strongly preferred.

The successful candidate will be a pragmatic, business-minded attorney with excellent judgment and executive presence. This individual will have a demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment, influence stakeholders across an organization, and translate complex legal concepts into practical business solutions. Strong communication skills, high integrity, and the ability to navigate complex organizational dynamics are essential. The ideal candidate will also bring a collaborative approach, a global perspective, and a commitment to partnering with business leaders to achieve strategic objectives while appropriately managing risk.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a respected and growing organization in a highly strategic legal leadership role. The Associate General Counsel will work closely with senior executives, influence key business decisions, and play a critical role in supporting the company’s continued growth and success.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
