Outside of this issue of the Docket, which includes best practices on effectively managing a brand migration, leveraging law department metrics strategically, and more, I encourage you to take a look at ACC’s Leading Practices Profiles.

It’s been said that “content is king,” which I suppose it is, but perhaps in the world of the modern in-house counsel, “IP is king.” And if our company’s IP is in fact one of, if not its most, valuable assets, then it is our job as in-house counsel to protect the king.

Doing business in the modern world increasingly involves managing legal issues across the globe.

Just think of us as your dream team, providing you with the practical resources you need to prepare, and connecting you with a network of in-house counsel who’ve been there, done that.

The legal department plays a significant role by creating compliance policies, advising on employee discrimination claims, and more.

While the legal team benefits from the expertise of an international workforce, managing it does not come without challenges.

Welcome to the last 2015 issue of the Docket. If you’re like me, you’re probably wondering where the year went, while also looking forward to the fresh start of a new one.

I begin my term as ACC chair with great excitement. I am honored to follow in the footsteps of exceptional leaders and even more grateful to work with a board of directors, president and team so dedicated to the success of the global in-house bar.
