The Connections Lounge, the Headshot Lounge, the Dine-Arounds, golf, the spa and the tasting — the parts of the Corporate Counsel Conference that attendees come back for.

  1. Attendees in conversation at a past Corporate Counsel Conference

    Connections Lounge

    The Conference includes the Law Firm & Corporate Counsel Connections Lounge (the “Connections Lounge”), a distinctive networking forum designed to foster meaningful engagement between Corporate Counsel and Law Firm Attorneys. Through structured one-on-one informational interviews, selected Law Firm Attorneys are afforded the opportunity to showcase their capabilities, discuss the legal services they provide, and build relationships with Corporate Counsel. Participation in this portion of the Conference requires separate registration and is not included automatically with general Conference registration.

    How it works

    Law Firm Attorneys

    • During registration, Law Firm Attorneys will indicate if they would like to participate in the Connections Lounge. Opting in allows them to provide information about their respective practice experience that will be reviewed by Corporate Counsel attendees and considered for an interview.
    • A resume/bio will be requested. The resume/bio should be on a letter-size page on one side only. Do not exceed one (1) page.
    • Submit the resume/bio ONLY by uploading it via the registration site. Submissions via U.S. mail, email, or fax will not be accepted.
    • If a Law Firm Attorney is selected for an informational interview, the specific time for the interview will be communicated before the conference.

    Corporate Counsel Attendees

    • Complimentary registration is provided to corporate counsel who interview four (4) or more law firm attorneys. Should in-house counsel not want to participate, they are welcome to register at the applicable law firm attorney rates.
    • After registration closes, Corporate Counsel Representatives will be able to view Law Firm Attorneys’ information for the interview process. Registered Corporate Counsel/Government Representatives will receive a link to access the information.

    PLEASE NOTE: Law Firm Attorneys are encouraged to attend the Connections Lounge even if they have not received a pre-selection interview. The Connections Lounge is intended to provide a forum to facilitate connections providing an opportunity for all attendees to meet, network, and explore potential opportunities. Beyond the Connections Lounge, the three-day Conference offers unparalleled opportunities for Law Firm Attorneys to meet Corporate Counsel attendees from numerous Fortune 1000 companies.
