This Leading Practices Profile, an update to ACC’s 2010 piece, features law department leading practices for generating and demonstrating value through a number of value levers, as well as best practices for improving the bottom line and enhancing collation across business units.

This Leading Practices Profile (LPP), an update from ACC’s 2009 LPP on the same subject, examines how the roles of the general counsel and in-house counsel in Europe have evolved from legal advisors to trusted business partners.
