The ACC Asia-Pacific Xchange 2021 was a virtual conference organized by the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC), the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of in-house counsel. This event aimed to provide legal department leaders, practice leads, and legal operations professionals with a unique learning experience focused on transforming modern law departments.
The conference covered a range of key topics, including leadership skills for innovative thinking, frameworks for improving department practices, strategies for securing C-suite approval for new ideas, methods for tracking metrics to justify investments in new tools, and benchmarking departmental performance against peers. Sessions such as "How Operationally Mature is your Legal Department?" and "Legal Design Thinking: From Buzzwords to Legal Solutions and Useful Tools" provided practical insights into enhancing legal operations and implementing design thinking in legal contexts.
In addition to educational sessions, the event offered networking opportunities like the "Speed Networking" session, allowing attendees to connect with peers across the Asia-Pacific region. Notable speakers included Catherine Moynihan, AVP of Legal Management Services at ACC, and Eric Chin, Principal at Alpha Creates, who shared their expertise on advancing efficiency and cost-effectiveness in legal services.
This conference was particularly beneficial for in-house counsel, legal executives, practice leads, and legal operations professionals seeking to enhance their leadership skills, implement innovative practices, and stay abreast of evolving trends in the legal industry.
