The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, nonprofits and other private-sector organizations around the globe.
During a protracted period of crisis management, drastic business disruption and a distributed workforce under unrelenting pressure, how are General Counsels pivoting and evolving to lead their teams and organizations? More than ever, decisiveness, flexibility, empathy, and inclusivity are eclipsing traditional lawyerly traits of deliberateness, consistency, convention, and hierarchy in importance. What are GCs doing to identify and develop these strengths in themselves and in their teams? How do these changes affect GC relationships and expectations with your executives/boards, internal clients, and outside counsel?
Join us for a conversation about these important questions with the following leading chief legal officers:

Historically, women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and attorneys with disabilities have been underrepresented in private law firms and in house legal departments. Recruitment isn't the main issue but access to career enhancing work, client development opportunities, sponsorship, and unconscious biases all play major roles in the retention and advancement of underrepresented attorneys.
Our panel will candidly discuss the challenges many in-house professionals have historically faced in both law firms and legal departments. Panelists will offer insights, best practices and innovative approaches to address these issues, with an emphasis on the important role allies play in ensuring a diverse pipeline of talent at all levels of the organization.
This event is open to both men and women. Please join us by registering below. Dial-in info will be sent 24 hours in advance of the event.
