Chapters

Greater New York

Welcome to our web site!

Located in one of the world’s most significant commercial and cultural centers, ACC’s Greater New York chapter leverages what the city has to offer in serving its two groups of stakeholders. First are the approximately 1500 members who practice in companies of various sizes representing many industries. All major corporations with operations here have ACC-GNY members in their legal departments. The second group of stakeholders is the legal service providers who partner with the chapter providing financial support and practical work product which meets member needs.

The Chapter provides value to its members and sponsors via Continuing Legal Education programs and through Member Practice Groups. Members receive first rate legal information specifically targeted for in-house counsel and sponsors benefit through contact with the members. We encourage those interested to view descriptions of chapter activities using the CHAPTER LINKS. Beyond substantive law offerings, we call particular attention to the Pro Bono and Members in Transition links.

We encourage contact from any and all of the following: Existing Members and Sponsors with questions, comments or suggestions; In-House counsel contemplating membership; and legal service providers interested in mutually beneficial partnering with the chapter.

Please email the Executive Director John Ogden or call him at 201.264.3048.
