ACC celebrates 30 years of service to 30,000 members worldwide

ACC is excited to celebrate two milestones - 30 years of serving the in-house community and reaching 30,000 members worldwide. From its start 30 years ago as a small group of 3,000 in-house counsel in the United States, ACC has evolved into a global association with more than 30,000 members in over 75 countries. And, we’re continuing to innovate and change to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse membership.

In celebration of 30 years of ACC, view the special 30th Anniversary Supplement, "30 Years of Raising the In-house Bar: Local Connections, Global Reach" here.
