High-growth comes with a steep learning curve

As the GC of a rapidly scaling company, you have to do it all, and then some. Whether you’re a team of one or a team of fifty, you’re fighting legal fires by day, and providing strategic business advice by night. Corporate, IP, Employment, Privacy, Tax.

Your colleagues think you have all the answers to all the legal things, but no one does. That’s why you need a curated community of peers to lean on.

Membership is by invitation only and includes a wealth of benefits

From a custom-built member platform, to real-time data and surveys, to regular industry-leading conferences (any of which would typically cost thousands), membership in The L Suite’s TechGC community is all-encompassing and all-inclusive. That means that there are no additional fees or reimbursement requests — just an unsurpassed peer community that is carefully designed to accelerate your GC career.  It’s the only membership that pays for itself, and then some.

Proprietary Platform

This is not your basic Slack community or off-the-shelf software that delivers a one-size-fits-all experience. We custom-built our own community platform from the ground up to support the unique needs of our TechGC members.

Explore platform

  • Connect & converse with your closest peers

    Discuss the most pressing issues of the moment. Get quick gut-checks on day-to-day questions, or strategic insights on big picture challenges. Ask the community at large, or target a specific sub-group or individual. The give-to-get culture means you’ll find plenty of GCs eager to pay it forward.

  • Powerful research at your fingertips

    Easily search through discussion archives and our comprehensive resource library for answers and insights. Leverage the peer forms repository for tried-and-true precedent, or bank your CLE credits from our extensive on-demand database of past events. Don’t reinvent the wheel or overpay for outside resources or advice.

  • Unbiased, peer-reviewed recommendations

    Find the best outside counsel and vendors for your specific needs, all vetted by your experienced peers and recommended in context. The L Suite’s proprietary expert database allows members to hone in on the right solution the first time, saving you valuable time and money.

Compensation Surveys

Compensation data is highly-confidential and notoriously difficult to find. Our exclusive give-to-get annual comp surveys close that knowledge gap, with detailed analyses and dynamic breakdowns across the full range of relevant variables.

Topical Surveys

We go deep with insights and analysis on the core day-to-day topics that our members are grappling with. This includes everything from cloud transaction contract terms to privacy trends to cybersecurity best practices, and much more.

Benchmarking Surveys

We periodically survey our members to provide helpful benchmarking data on evergreen operating topics as well as rapidly emerging new situations. From legal department sizing to market condition adjustments (layoffs, budget cuts), and everything in between.

The forms, research material and benchmarking surveys are amazing. Worth the value of membership alone!
