Dear Louisiana Chapter ACC Members and Friends,
Welcome to our website! As the 2025-2026 President of the Louisiana Chapter, now in its 37th year, it is an honor and a privilege to serve the Louisiana ACC community!
As a member of ACC for over 15 years, I can attest to the incredible resources offered not only by the global ACC organization, but also by our Chapter, which aims to provide high-quality, in-house counsel-focused continuing legal education programming, as well as opportunities to connect, build your career, network and get to know other Louisiana-based in-house counsel from a variety of industries and organizations.
Sponsors
In addition to our members, our law firm Sponsors are the backbone of the Louisiana ACC Chapter. In 2024, we were pleased to offer sixteen hours of live, in-person programming to our members (including 1.0 hours of ethics and 1.0 hours of professionalism) at nominal cost, which is essential for meeting the minimum 8.5 hours of live, in-person programming required to meet minimum Louisiana State Bar Association MCLE requirements.
For 2025, we are pleased to have the support of Premier Sponsor Fisher Phillips, Gold Sponsors (i) Galloway, Johnson, Thompkins Burr & Smith, (ii) Liskow & Lewis, (iii) Phelps Dunbar, (iv) Kean Miller, (v) Stone Pigman, (vi) Jones Walker, (vii) Gordon Arata, (viii) Ogletree Deakins and (iv) Baker Donelson**, as well as Silver Sponsor the Business Law Group**
**New for 2025
As you attend events, please let our Sponsors know you appreciate their support and consider them as possible outside counsel for your organization.
ACC Resources
The ACC website offers a vast repository of resources for our members, including online learning; sample forms, policies and contracts; benchmarking and research data; networking opportunities; mentorship programs and other tools for managing your career. There are also over 20 industry-specific networks included with your ACC membership that provide a way to stay up-to date with the latest issues and trends in your industry and interact with other in-house counsel in your practice area.
