About ACC-Membership Dues

On the local level, your Chapter is often the primary contact for many ACC members. You are often the first representative of ACC that members interact with after they join. As Chapter leader, ACC seeks and relies on your assistance to provide personal outreach and serve as a volunteer representative and liaison on ACC's behalf. Your Chapter makes a difference in the way in-house counsel view the organization by enhancing the value of ACC membership and demonstrating through Chapter activities why an in-house attorney should join.

Eligibility

Types of ACC Membership

  2. Large Law Membership — Discounted Dues for law departments of 9 or more attorneys have the opportunity for group discount rates.

  3. Corporate Legal Resource Package — In response to the specific needs of larger law departments, ACC has developed this package, available to law departments with more than 70 attorneys. It is intended to provide resources that focus on the knowledge and networking needs of larger departments. Members will receive access to ACC Online and all member only sections, as well as the ACC Docket and participation on any or all of ACC's 14 Committees. Participants also receive a number of complimentary registrations to ACC educational programs including the Annual Meeting, Corporate Counsel University, and our European Conference. Recognizing the time constraints of its attorneys, the package will also include an in-house CLE program delivered to the law department.
