Built for General Counsel

Recruiting general counsel, without the search fee

Source GC, deputy GC, and senior in-house counsel autonomously — with bar admission and practice depth enforced as non-negotiables, and discreet outreach appropriate for executive legal search.

Built for GC search

What Noon handles for legal leadership hiring.

Sources in-house counsel and law-firm partners across the whole web
Bar admission and JD requirements as hard filters
Evaluates practice depth — corporate, securities, employment, IP
Discreet, individually personalized outreach
Flat plan instead of a percentage-of-comp search fee

Your first GC hire shapes everything after it

A general counsel search is high-stakes and usually confidential: the wrong hire compounds across every contract and board meeting, and the strongest candidates — sitting GCs and senior firm partners — are never applying anywhere. Noon sources them autonomously, evaluating practice depth, industry exposure, company-stage fit, and leadership scope against your criteria, and reaches them with discreet, individually written outreach.

GC search pain points Noon removes

Where legal leadership hiring stalls.

Retained fees of a third of first-year compensation
The best candidates never in any applicant pool
Confidential searches leaking through broad outreach
Practice-area depth hidden behind identical titles
Months-long searches while legal risk accumulates

Executive bar, calibrated to your board

Set bar admission, practice-area depth, industry experience, and seniority as non-negotiables Noon never relaxes. Then calibrate from CEO or board feedback: the agent learns whether your company needs a dealmaker, a regulatory specialist, or a first legal hire who can build a function — and keeps sourcing to that bar until the search closes.
