This InfoPAK takes a unique, practitioner-focused approach to exploring the ACC Value Challenge initiative (“AVC”) of reconnecting cost and value within the context of small law departments. Using case-studies proffered by in-house counsel from various small law departments, this InfoPAK examines the ways in which these small law department practitioners have implemented the concepts and principles espoused in the AVC into every day practice. Starting with the general principles of the AVC, it then provides details on each in-house counsel’s unique experiences in implementing the value-based concepts, followed by a summary of the practices utilized and the key takeaways for readers. Finally, the InfoPAK provides additional practical guidance, including an extensive list of additional resources on the topic from both the ACC Value Challenge library, general resource collections, various topic-specific checklists, and other highly relevant articles at the end of the document.
