1. Legal Counsel, Swarovski
Nothing says winter cheer like a little bling, and Swarovski's got bling, from crystal jewelry to crystal chandeliers. As legal counsel for the company, you'd be providing general legal support to their businesses, focusing on legal, regulatory, compliance, and risk management issues.

2. Corporate Counsel, Transactions, Best Buy

As corporate counsel, you'd be working with a variety of Best Buy's teams, including IT, Gift Cards, and Financial Services.
