Message From the Chair

Welcome to the Federal Bar Association’s Corporate and Association Counsel Division. Our membership consists of a diverse mix of in-house and association counsel, as well as outside counsel, judges, and others who work with them. Our goal is to provide educational content to our members through webinars, written communication, and in-person CLE presentations.

In recent years, we have presented programs on topics including ESG reporting/litigation, attorney-client privilege for in-house attorneys, election law compliance, cybersecurity best practices, and improving the in-house/outside counsel working relationship. While our membership is geographically diverse, we also hope to provide networking opportunities to our members and an opportunity to exchange ideas. One of our priorities for 2023-24 is to increase productive collaborations between the Division and Chapters as well as other FBA Sections and Divisions. We have recently collaborated with the Labor & Employment Section, the Criminal Law Section, the Young Lawyers Division, and the Antitrust & Trade Regulation Section, among others. We are currently planning a seminar for February 2024 in cooperation with the South Florida Chapter.

We have many opportunities for our members to get involved, from writing an article for our newsletter to speaking at one of our webinars and getting involved with Division leadership. Please feel free to contact me or any of our Division leaders if you’d like to participate or if you have suggestions for programming that would be helpful to our members.

Thank you and we look forward to working with you!

Lawson Fite
FY23-24 Corporate and Association Counsel Division Chair
