Accelerating a Critical CLO Hire for a U.S. Healthcare Company

Chief Legal Officer Search for U.S. Healthcare Company

After nearly a year of searching for a Chief Legal Officer, a U.S. healthcare company found itself back at square one when the finalist declined their offer at the last minute. The prolonged search had strained internal resources and delayed critical legal leadership at a pivotal time for the business. The CEO needed a fast, reliable path forward—ideally with a local candidate who could quickly integrate with the team.

SOLUTION

Drawing on its deep presence in the local legal market and established attorney relationships, Latitude was able to quickly identify and engage a select group of highly qualified, local candidates who met both the technical and cultural needs of the organization, including candidates who were not actively pursuing new roles but were open to the right opportunity.

Within weeks, the CEO was able to engage with a strong slate of candidates and move efficiently through interviews. Because candidates were pre-vetted by Latitude, the CEO could focus on selecting the candidate that would be the best fit for the company.

The company successfully onboarded a Chief Legal Officer who brought the experience and leadership the organization needed. The streamlined process saved time and helped restore momentum, allowing the CEO and leadership team to refocus on business priorities.
