ACC-LA is the Louisiana chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel and is devoted solely to providing information and networking to in-house attorneys.  ACC-LA represents the interests of over 100 in-house attorneys throughout Louisiana.  In addition to the innumerable benefits of joining the national ACC organization, the Louisiana chapter offers many advantages to its members.  Some of these benefits include:

• CLE Credits

  Through our 2 hour luncheon CLE programs and our 6.5 hour annual CLE program, members can obtain all yearly CLE requirements tailored to in-house counsel concerns at very low cost;

• Professional Networking

  Through our networking functions, ACC-LA members have the opportunity to meet other in-house counsel and enjoy social functions.  Attendance to the functions is free for members due to sponsorship of these events by local law firms and/or legal support service providers.  One of our most popular annual networking events is the Wine-Tasting Social;

• Philanthropy

  ACC-LA supports non-profit causes such as The Pro-Bono Project by providing patron level sponsorship of its annual fundraiser “The Justice for All Ball”;

• Career Development

  Members also receive access to the ACC-LA job bank, a great source for in-house job opportunities in Louisiana.
