Lived Experiences, Guided Support
About Ready Set GC and Our Advisory Board
Our Story
Founder, Deborah Solmor's General Counsel journey began in June 2018, after many years in private practice at Skadden and five years as the Deputy GC and Chief Compliance Officer of a publicly-traded company. Deborah quickly learned that the GC role was unlike any she had previously held. She recognized a gap in programs dedicated to the professional development of women in the foundational years of their GC career. So she built Ready Set GC.
"Our mission is to empower and equip women in the foundational years of their General Counsel career to become confident, effective leaders."
