The U.S. In-House Counsel Celebration is an annual event dedicated to recognizing and fostering excellence within the U.S. in-house legal community. Organized by Mondaq in affiliation with the American Bar Association (ABA), the 2026 celebration will take place on May 20, 2026, at the Devonshire Ballroom in The Langham, Chicago. This gala event honors the achievements of in-house counsel through eight community-nominated awards, highlighting their unique contributions to the legal profession.
The evening's program includes inspiring music and comedy performances from talented artists, providing attendees with an exceptional four-course dinner paired with matching wines. This combination of entertainment and fine dining ensures a memorable experience for all participants.
The event also serves a philanthropic purpose, with a $30 donation made to Feeding America for every seat purchased, supporting essential work in combating hunger across the nation.
In-house counsel, legal professionals, and industry stakeholders are encouraged to attend to celebrate the accomplishments of their peers, engage in networking opportunities, and gain insights into the evolving landscape of in-house legal practice.
