What are your thoughts on talent intelligence?
I am leaving JP Morgan next month and have resigned before completing of my 1 year with the firm but technically my year will be completed next month before notice period. The laptop allowance and the relocation allowances will it be recovered from me during my exit??
Please let me know if anyone is aware of this scenario.. Leaving JP Morgan is completely personal JPMorgan Chase

GC seems more applicable based on what you’ve said. I would negotiate using the argument that you are dealing with more than just the contracts and go into detail of all the different things you do
Yes I have done this on behalf of candidates, telling the company that such and such title is reflective of the level of work in the industry to peers. Counsel is completely reasonable!
Do you advise the Board? If not, maybe something more like Chief Legal Counsel?
Indirectly. I advise them through the C-Suite.

Yes, I put together a small “portfolio” of business points supporting an argument that I deserved a title promotion. I pushed my manager to consider a title promotion in connection with my next scheduled performance/ salary review and gave a lot of notice that it was important to me, so he could take my document to the business stakeholders with a stake in the decision. I was able to get it approved

So...please understand your worth and go somewhere you are valued.
What is your title now, and what do you want it to be? I personally like GC, but as a principal at my firm I could give myself any title I want.
Writing correspondence to outside parties not related to contracts with the title, “contracts lawyer” is quite strange. I also represent my company at GC meetings, where everyone is supposed to be a GC.
