ACC supports equality

A global organisation for in-house counsel has thrown its weight behind a project to achieve equality for women in law

The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC), which represents more than 45,000 in-house counsel in 85 countries, has formed a partnership with Next 100 Years, the new project from the team behind the First 100 Years, led by Dana Denis-Smith.

Denis-Smith said: ‘By working closely with a global organisation for the first time, we will be able to involve women lawyers across the world in the project, celebrating their achievements, learning from other jurisdictions about how they are breaking down barriers to inequality and working together to drive change.’
