The ACC Executive Leadership Institute (ELI) is an exclusive program designed to prepare senior in-house counsel for the expanded responsibilities of the General Counsel role. Organized by the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC), this immersive event offers participants direct engagement with experienced Chief Legal Officers and enterprise leaders to navigate the complexities of modern legal leadership.

Key topics covered include board engagement, crisis management, executive alignment, and oversight of contemporary risks such as artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. The curriculum is tailored to equip attendees with the necessary skills to advise boards, partner strategically with CEOs, and manage evolving legal challenges.

The program features interactive sessions led by seasoned experts who share valuable insights, strategies, and best practices. Participants will have opportunities for networking, engaging discussions, and practical exercises designed to enhance their leadership capabilities.

ELI is ideal for senior in-house counsel who report directly to their organization's highest-ranking legal officer and hold titles such as deputy general counsel, associate general counsel, or managing attorney.
