The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's premier bar association
for attorneys who are employed to practice law by corporations,
associations, and other private-sector organizations. ACC provides
a network for in-house counsel to seek guidance and advice on legal
matters from other in-house counsel; offers CLE and practice
resources to help corporate counsel effectively manage their legal
department and enhance their knowledge of legal issues; and
advocates on issues critical to in-house counsel including
attorney-client privilege and multijurisdictional practice.
ACC delivers to members a mix of focused services, including
information, education, networking and advocacy. Benefits of
membership include:
- Virtual LibrarySM --
ACC's online databank of documents, articles, and sample forms
and policies that show corporate counsel how to do more, better,
and less expensively.
- NewsNetSM -- Weekly
electronic slip opinions with the latest information on key legal
areas of interest to corporate counsel.
- MemberToMemberSM --
ACC's preeminent networking system providing members with a
network of in-house attorneys ready to answer questions and provide
advice on over 100 different areas of legal practice.
- Chapters and Committees -- Local chapter knowledge networking
programs offer face-to-face contact with corporate counsel to
discuss issues. Committees offer networks based on areas of
interest and provide advice and guidance from volunteer experts on
12 different legal topics: from corporate and securities to
intellectual property to managing a small law department.
- CLE Programs -- ACC presents outstanding programs to enhance
corporate counsel performance. At ACC's Annual Meeting,
attendees can obtain an entire year's worth of CLE credits and
attend outstanding sessions (perhaps that is why 99 percent of
attendees say they would attend another ACC meeting). At local
chapter programs, top-notch luncheon and evening CLE programs
provide a convenient way to stay up-to-date on legal issues.
- ACC Docket -- The only legal magazine written by
in-house counsel for in-house counsel.
- Advocacy -- ACC serves as the voice of the in-house bar,
asserting our professional rights and obligations. We seek to
protect attorney-client privilege; work toward more practical and
reasonable admission rules; and lead the outside bar on issues such
as reform of the billable hour and conflicts of interest guidelines
that protect clients. ACC serves corporate counsel by protecting
their client's investment in the value added by having an
in-house staff.
