European Company Lawyers Association
ECLA is the umbrella organization for 20 company lawyer
associations in Europe and represents common interests
of European company lawyers. “ECLA was created in 1983. It is
an international non-profit association governed by Belgian law.
Membership is open to national associations only. While individuals are not members of ECLA directly, each
company lawyer, who is a member of a national association, can share the benefits ECLA negotiates. These
include discounts to conferences, legal education, training, free publications and more. During the past almost 30
years, ECLA has gained recognition as the leading representative of European company lawyers associations and
their individual members. In this unrivalled position, ECLA has a platform to respond to and influence the
European in-house corporate counsel network, European organizations and policy making bodies.”4
Minority Corporate Counsel Associations
“The Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA) was founded
in 1997 to advocate for the expanded hiring, retention, and promotion of minority
attorneys in corporate law departments and the law firms that serve them. MCCA
accomplishes its mission through the collection and dissemination of information about
diversity in the legal profession.”5
