General counsel
A general counsel or chief legal officer (CLO) is the chief lawyer of a legal department, usually in a company or a governmental department.
In a company, the person holding the position typically reports directly to the CEO, and their duties involve overseeing and identifying the legal issues in all departments and their interrelation, including engineering, design, marketing, sales, distribution, credit, finance, human resources, production, as well as corporate governance and business policy. This would naturally require in most cases reporting directly to the owner or CEO overseeing the very business on which the CLO is expected to be familiar with and advise on the most confidential level. This requires the CLO/general counsel to work closely with each of the other officers, and their departments, to appropriately be aware and advise.
Historically, general counsel often handled administrative tasks while outside lawyers in private practice handled more complex legal work. Since the 1980s, however, the general counsel position has become increasingly prominent in multinational companies, often directly advising the board of directors in place of outside lawyers. General counsel are now often among the most highly paid executives of major American corporations, and prominent American government lawyers and law firm partners are often hired for general counsel roles at prominent companies. Similar trends are also being seen in the United Kingdom and other countries.

14. What Does a General Counsel Do?
The General Counsel acts as air traffic control for all legal issues across a company, says Billy Stern – from HR, compliance, and IP to a host of business risks. But while a lawyer is typically a “no” person, the best GCs have a “yes” mentality, working with the CEO to think expansively as a true business partner. Stern explains the complex job of GCs as they serve this and other roles including succession advisor, company “heavy,” contract enforcer, and fierce legal and regulatory advocate.

The General Counsel acts as air traffic control for all legal issues across a company, says Billy Stern – from HR, compliance, and IP to a host of business risks. But while a lawyer is typically a “no” person, the best GCs have a “yes” mentality, working with the CEO to think expansively as a true business partner. Stern explains the complex job of GCs as they serve this and other roles including succession advisor, company “heavy,” contract enforcer, and fierce legal and regulatory advocate.

President Donald Trump has appointed two Indian Americans as his special assistants dealing with national security and personnel matters.
Ricky Gill will crucially deal with India at the National Security Council (NSC) as the senior director for South and Central Asian affairs.
Saurabh Sharma will work in the Presidential Personnel office.
Gill had worked in the first Trump administration at the National Security Council as the director for Russia and European Energy Security, and at the State Department as the senior advisor in the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations.
After leaving the NSC, he ran Gill Capital Group as its principal and general counsel.
He was also an adviser on European and Asian energy at TC Energy, which owns the Keystone XL Pipeline that transports oil from Canada to the US. A part of the project approved by Trump was banned by former President Joe Biden.
The son of Jasbir and Param Gill, he was born in Lodi, New Jersey.
Gill has a bachelor's degree from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University and a law degree from the University of California, Berkeley.
He confirmed in a post in LinkedIn his appointment, which was reported by Politico.
Bengaluru-born Sharma was the co-founder and president of the Washington-based American Moment, a conservative organisation that says its mission is to “identify, educate, and credential young Americans”.
A Republican activist, he was the state chairman of Young Conservatives of Texas.
He had also done a stint as a journalist with the Daily Caller, a conservative publication.
Sharma has a bachelor's degree in biochemistry from the University of Texas
His appointment was reported by Politico and confirmed by American Moment on its website.

General counsel
A general counsel or chief legal officer (CLO) is the chief lawyer of a legal department, usually in a company or a governmental department.
In a company, the person holding the position typically reports directly to the CEO, and their duties involve overseeing and identifying the legal issues in all departments and their interrelation, including engineering, design, marketing, sales, distribution, credit, finance, human resources, production, as well as corporate governance and business policy. This would naturally require in most cases reporting directly to the owner or CEO overseeing the very business on which the CLO is expected to be familiar with and advise on the most confidential level. This requires the CLO/general counsel to work closely with each of the other officers, and their departments, to appropriately be aware and advise.
Historically, general counsel often handled administrative tasks while outside lawyers in private practice handled more complex legal work. Since the 1980s, however, the general counsel position has become increasingly prominent in multinational companies, often directly advising the board of directors in place of outside lawyers. General counsel are now often among the most highly paid executives of major American corporations, and prominent American government lawyers and law firm partners are often hired for general counsel roles at prominent companies. Similar trends are also being seen in the United Kingdom and other countries.
