Thanks to ACC Member Megan Belcher, for helping to spotlight the work ACC has been leading in the legal, business, and corporate board communities to demonstrate why CEOs, boards, and investors should recognize the value added by a Chief Legal Officer who holds the Corporate Secretary position and is uniquely positioned to work with the board to mitigate risk. This paper was the winner of a $20K competition funded by ACC, working with the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance. When you join and support ACC, you empower ACC to be strong advocates for the value that CLOs bring to the table, both in the C-suite and boardroom. We are the only professional association dedicated to doing that and we're proud to have recognized the paper as this year's winner of the Carl Liggio Paper Competition! #ACCFamily #inhousecounsel #Chieflegalofficer #corporategovernance #inhouse

Sharing this great new (nerdy) ready about the combination of the CLO and Corporate Secretary roles, and the trends that run parallel to risk over time. A key insight? “Results suggest that having an informed CS [corporate secretary] can reduce firm risk....Firms in which a single individual is tasked with both CLO and CS roles typically experience fewer legal issues than those without CLO duality.” The study doesn't dive into the whys, but makes the assertion that “firms with combined roles have the advantage of a well-informed legal mind advising and informing the board [and] can draw on the CLO’s legal skills when legal opinions or advice are required.” It's a great read for the governance lovers out there. #clo #corpsec #governance
