Coach
Depends on the company and size as, in some cases, these roles will overlap if there aren't sufficient resources to have both.
Privacy compliance is going to be more focused on implementation, project management, monitoring using privacy tools, and responding to routine privacy-related inquiries.
Counsel roles are going to be more focused on providing guidance and working with teams to understand and advise on their plans. Interpreting privacy law and ensuring appropriate legal documentation is completed (e.g., risk assessments, DPIAs, LIAs, DPAs).
As the above poster said. But I'll add that Legal interprets the law, takes positions, while Compliance works to implement/operationalize those interpretations. Legal negotiates contracts, Compliance helps ensure the contractual obligations are met.
