In-House Counsel Division Purpose Statement

The In-House Counsel Division is solely comprised of in-house counsel, which we define as "attorneys who are engaged in the active practice of law employed by entities or agencies in either the private or public sector, and do not hold themselves out to the public for the practice of law." Our members will successfully meet the challenges unique to in-house practice. Through candid and substantive discussion, the exchange of best practices, and networking events we will provide a community of local, experienced support.
