About the Program

Ready Set GC is bringing Ascend to New York for the first time late fall, following its inaugural program in Chicago. Hosted by long-time Ready Set GC sponsor Alston & Bird, Ascend is a high-impact leadership development experience designed for women who report directly to the most senior legal leader in their organization and aspire to the General Counsel role.


Unlike traditional legal career paths, the GC role isn’t just the next step up—it’s a fundamentally different job with distinct responsibilities, expectations, and leadership demands. During this full-day program, we’ll introduce The Ascend Framework—a unique self-assessment tool that helps participants evaluate their readiness for the GC seat and begin crafting a personalized action plan for their path forward.


We will explore what makes the GC role different from other in-house positions, what companies look for in first-time GCs, and how to strategically position yourself for success in the search process.
