Corporation's Legal Association Achieves 2024 Great Workplace Certification™
The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC), a premier global legal association, has once again been certified as a Great Place to Work® for the second year in a row. Under the leadership of President and CEO, Veta T. Richardson, ACC has created an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive, fostering professional growth, networking, and a supportive work environment for corporate legal professionals.
ACC connects its members to a global network of legal professionals, including senior legal officers, through specialized groups like the CLO Club. This exclusive peer-to-peer network offers gatherings, thought leadership, actionable insights, and opportunities to deepen expertise and connect globally.
ACC's employees also benefit from high-quality education and professional development opportunities, both online and in person. Annual meetings feature speakers from major companies such as Microsoft, Google, and McDonald's, while programs are tailored for in-house counsel and legal operations professionals. ACC also provides supportive networks for lawyers new to in-house roles, offering resources, forums, webcasts, and sessions to address the specific challenges faced by attorneys with less than five years of experience in corporate counsel positions.
In addition to these benefits, ACC offers a hybrid in-office work schedule of two days a week, three days remote, and a compressed four-day work week option. Scheduling flexibility at ACC supports work-life balance, and employees are encouraged to work one month remote each year and totally disconnect during a two-week vacation.
Veta T. Richardson, in her role as CEO, emphasizes kindness, care, and a deep respect for shared humanity as key values at ACC. She attributes ACC's ongoing success to the hard work, passion, and commitment of the ACC team.
Great Place To Work®, the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and leadership behaviours, conducts the certification process based on feedback from current employees. Seventy-nine percent of ACC employees said ACC is a great place to work, which is 22% higher than the average U.S. company.
ACC also offers generous paid time off, health, and retirement benefits, making it an attractive employer for corporate legal professionals. For more information about ACC's Great Place to Work certification, visit [link].
