Cornerstone Search Group has been retained by a high-profile, well-funded, public biotech with a multi-asset, late-stage pipeline for their inaugural General Counsel position. Our client is focused on discovering, developing, and globally commercializing transformative therapies across a range of related rare and non-rare disorders that have long lacked meaningful treatment innovations. They have built a range of first-in-class pipeline assets that utilize multiple small and large molecule modalities. They are now looking for an experienced, well-rounded legal professional to work closely with their highly personable CEO to guide the company through its next stage of growth - regulatory approval (FDA and global) and global commercialization. Our client is looking for a legal executive that thrives in a smaller company environment – someone that has strong emotional intelligence, is highly collaborative, and can build an innovative legal and compliance organization.
