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.
India's data governance landscape is undergoing a historic transformation. With the introduction of the Draft Digital Personal Data Protection Rules 2025 following the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (“DPDPA”), the nation is re-orienting itself to a modern, consent and rights-oriented approach to data privacy.
The Rules introduce key operational and governance requirements, including itemized notice content, consent architecture, breach reporting timelines, baseline security requirements as well as specific obligations for certain classes of data fiduciaries (akin to data controllers).
Designed for in-house counsel of businesses operating or intending to operate in India, this Webcast will provide:
A strategic overview of where the DPDPA stands today;
A deep dive into the draft rules and key compliance obligations;
Practical guidance for organizations on readiness, operating models, and next steps; and
Insights into how enforcement trends globally may influence regulatory expectations from enforcement authorities / courts.
This presentation introduces project finance, covering its core principles (such as limited-recourse lending, SPV structures, and cashflow-dependent financing) along with the key stakeholders involved (sponsors, lenders, governments, and contractors). It then examines the principal project documents in detail, including concession agreements, power purchase agreements (PPAs), and EPC contracts, with a focus on risk allocation, revenue mechanisms, termination provisions, and the contractual structures that underpin bankability in both infrastructure and energy projects.
ACC-CT members are encouraged to become involved with pro bono opportunities in Connecticut. Please join us to learn more about how attorneys can engage with meaningful service opportunities through the CBA’s Access to Justice programs.
Join us for a lunchtime presentation from Song Kim, the Director of Access to Justice and Equity at the Connecticut Bar Association, on the CBA’s Access to Justice programs and how they connect attorneys with meaningful opportunities to serve their communities.
The CBA offers a range of initiatives designed to meet both attorneys and members of the public where they are — including Free Legal Answers, an online platform where attorneys can respond to legal questions on their own schedule; virtual Free Legal Clinics, which bring legal guidance directly to those who may have difficulty accessing traditional in-person services; and Lawyers in Libraries, a program that places attorneys in familiar, welcoming community spaces to provide free legal assistance.
Whether you're new to pro bono or looking to deepen your commitment, this is a great opportunity to learn how the CBA is bridging barriers to justice across Connecticut.

When a cybersecurity incident strikes, how your organization responds can mean the difference between a manageable disruption and a full-scale operational, legal, and reputational crisis. The good news? You do not have to learn those lessons the hard way.
Greenberg Traurig invites you to join us for an upcoming webinar, as we draw on insights from thousands of real-world breaches and examine the most common and costly mistakes organizations make during incident response – and, more importantly, how to avoid them. We will also highlight best practices that strengthen your response capabilities and help build long-term organizational resilience.
Whether you are refining an existing incident response plan or building one from the ground up, this session offers a practical, experience-driven roadmap to help your team respond swiftly, strategically, and effectively when it matters most.

Many lawyers who post consistently start to become more visible, which can lead to more inbound messages and some opportunities that weren’t publicly advertised.
Sessions 1 and 2 covered what to share and how to talk about your work. This session looks at what happens when you do it consistently over time.
Credibility on LinkedIn develops gradually, through repeated and purposeful participation, until people start to recognise how you think, associate you with certain topics, and remember your name when an opportunity comes up.
This session looks at how in-house lawyers can move from occasionally posting to being known in their field. How to engage with others to build relationships and how to show up in a way that feels sustainable alongside a full-time legal career. We will also look at how algorithms and AI tools influence visibility and how you are perceived.
Knowing what to share on LinkedIn is one thing. Knowing how to talk about your work is another.
Following on from the first session on what to share, this session looks at how to talk about your work. For many in-house lawyers, the challenge is how to communicate what you do in a way that feels appropriate and not self-promotional.
While LinkedIn is often used to build an audience or generate opportunities, for legal professionals it can be a space to share perspectives and make their work and thinking more visible over time. This helps others understand their experience and where they add value.
We’ll explore how to describe your work more clearly, highlight its impact, and share perspectives professionally.
In moments of uncertainty, the real test of a market is not just how it responds—but how it is built to respond. This session features ACC CEO Jason Brown in conversation with Sahia Ahmad, CEO of Regulatory Policy & Governance at the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism and ACC Board Member, and takes a closer look at Dubai’s approach to continuity and recovery. Their conversation examines Dubai’s legal and business teams’ response as a case study in crisis readiness, coordination, and public-private partnership—and what it means for today’s in-house counsel.
Crisis is no longer episodic. It is structural. In-house counsel are expected to guide decision-making across operations, risk, and enterprise-wide coordination. Dubai’s approach offers a rare, live example of how to balance immediate response with long‑term resilience and strategic continuity.
What you’ll take away:
How continuity is designed at a system level—through governance, policy, and infrastructure.
The legal team’s role as a central node for strategy, logistics, and cross-functional coordination.
Practical lessons on balancing immediate response with long-term resilience, investor confidence, and operational stability.
What this means in practice for organizations shaping regional strategies—how to assess, structure, and operate in markets built for continuity.
This session focuses on aligning contract terms with real-world business, operational, financial, and legal risk. Attendees will learn how to assess the true nature of the deal they are supporting, set clear negotiation parameters, and manage risk in a way that is proportional to the transaction. The presentation emphasizes principled negotiation, professionalism, and credibility, while offering practical tools for balancing risk and recovery and for keeping internal stakeholders informed through clear communication, issue tracking, and structured calls.
