40 Years in the Making

Annual Corporate Counsel Conference

In 1987, a small group within NBA‑CLS met to consider ways for NBA members in private practice to meet with institutional corporate clients for the purpose of developing professional relationships and to create opportunities for institutional entities to seek out, meet, and refer outside legal matters to Black attorneys. The inaugural Corporate Counsel Conference in 1988 was held in Chicago, Illinois and was a resounding success because it enabled Fortune 500 companies with the ability to meet and network with NBA members who practice in areas of substantive law affecting America’s major corporations.
