In-house Litigation & Next Gen Contracting

XChange Homepage In House

Gain deeper insight and a practical understanding of important aspects of corporate law. Expert speakers will dig deep into the substance of the litigation and contracting issues piled high on your desk and share practical insights about how to handle them, going beyond the background information you already have to equip you with the tools you need to resolve those issues with confidence.

View sessions tailored for in-house counsel.

Legal Operations

Homepage XChange 2019 Legal Ops

Consider Xchange the ACC Legal Operations Conference but more. As always, this conference is the venue for peer-based learning that enables you to advance your legal operations function with regard to strategic planning, optimizing sourcing and staffing, and employing effective change management techniques. Also returning for X19 is the pre-conference Legal Ops Boot Camp that will get newbies in shape, and ACC Legal Ops Interest Group meetings where you can connect with like-minded peers. New for this year, Xchange offers Legal Ops members the opportunity to connect with their seasoned in-house counsel counterparts through networking events and educational sessions.

Leadership & Business Training

Homepage XChange Leadership Business

To move at the speed of business, in-house legal executives must first need to know the business. CLOs identify business management as the #1 non-legal skill desired for their lawyers, so Xchange has assembled a key leadership and business training curriculum on change management, leveraging the power of metrics, managerial accounting, prioritizing and implementing initiatives, interrupting unconscious bias, and more. The takeaways from X19 will set you apart both in your current role and all your future roles.
