The GCA Powerlist is an initiative by the General Counsels Association (GCA) to identify the most highly recommended lawyers across various fields of legal practice. This list is curated by General Counsels (GCs) themselves, based on their personal experiences and recommendations, ensuring that only the most trusted and exceptional legal professionals are featured.
A Peer-Driven Recognition
The GCA Powerlist is unique because it is built on the collective wisdom of GCs. These are the lawyers we turn to when we need the best advice, the sharpest insights, and the most reliable expertise. By sharing our recommendations, we create a resource that benefits the entire in-house legal community, helping GCs find the right specialists for their most critical legal challenges.
