Associate General Counsel at CrossCountry Consulting — McLean, VA

CrossCountry Consulting is seeking an Associate General Counsel to act as a senior, enterprise-wide legal advisor. Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer, this strategic role reflects the firm’s continued growth and increasing complexity. In this position, you will lead the firm’s commercial contracting function and take ownership of post-acquisition legal integration (contract assignment and novation, employment documentation, and integration of acquired agreements). You will collaborate closely with firm Partners and the Chief People and Operations Officer on employment and labor matters, oversee intellectual property and technology issues—such as the firm’s proprietary CrossCore AI platform—and manage outside counsel and litigation. Additionally, you will be responsible for the firm’s privacy, compliance, and records retention programs. The role also includes implementing and continually enhancing the firm’s contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform and broader legal operations infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on leveraging AI—both enterprise-wide tools and legal-specific platforms such as Harvey—to improve quality, increase efficiency, and accelerate decision-making across the legal function.
