Aviation Lawyer Lands Dream General Counsel Role at JSX

CASE STUDY

JSX, a Dallas-based public charter carrier, approached Foxstone Recruiting’s founder, Lauren Wu, to assist in a General Counsel search.

With successful growth over the years, JSX had reached a point where it needed in-house legal support. Aviation is a complex legal industry, and the pool of potential candidates who could provide that support was small.

Luckily, Lauren already knew the ideal candidate from her prior network connections. Lauren met Kerrie Forbes years ago and immediately thought of her. Kerrie had nearly 30 years of legal experience including over 15 years leading legal teams at Southwest Airlines. Lauren had never pitched Kerrie a role before because there was nothing that moved the needle. But considering Kerrie’s vast experience in the aviation world, a General Counsel role was the next logical step in her career trajectory. Lauren connected Kerrie with JSX and negotiated an offer that both parties were happy with. And the rest is written in the sky.
