Nearly every critical business issue facing companies today also has a legal dimension. It is critical for the modern chief legal officer (CLO) to have a seat at the executive table, in the boardroom, and to report directly to the CEO.

Not having your seat at the executive table as the chief legal officer may pose a significant risk to your ability to adequately protect and defend your organization. The ACC CLO Survey shows how more than 1,300 of your CLO peers at other organizations view their role in the boardroom and in working with the CEO.

This extensive survey of issues also enables you to find out what is trending in a variety of other areas, including legal department budgets, law firm turnover, your legal spend, and work allocation.
