Empowering In-House Counsel
Corporate Counsel Section
Strategic Litigation & Credit Risk Management for In-House Teams
The CLLA Corporate Counsel Section provides a vetted, national ecosystem for in-house lawyers who manage commercial disputes, bankruptcy, and debt recovery. Unlike traditional bar associations, we offer a practical, business-focused resource designed to optimize your “outside counsel” and collection agency relationships while reducing operational risk.
Why Become CLLA Corporate Counsel Section Member?
- Local Expertise vs. National Overhead: Access a vetted bench of regional litigators in unfamiliar venues without the “Big Law” price tag.
- The Full Lifecycle: The only network integrating law firms and collection agencies to handle matters from early-stage resolution, litigation and through bankruptcy, if applicable.
- Boots-on-the-Ground Intelligence: Real-world insight into debtor tactics, UCC practice, and Chapter 11 preference actions—not just academic theory.
- Vendor Due Diligence: Leverage the world’s oldest certification body to identify reliable partners under time pressure.
Real-World Intelligence
- Debtor Tactics: Learn what is actually working in the field to combat defaults.
- Insolvency Mitigation: Structure contracts and guarantees to proactively defend against Chapter 11 and preference actions.
- Regulatory Trends: Stay ahead of developments in UCC practice, judgment enforcement, and asset protection.
Key Strategic Benefits
- Confidential Peer Roundtables: Candid discussions with other General Counsel regarding bad debt trends, litigation trends and tactics, and vendor disputes.
- Board-Ready Risk Points: Translate receivables exposure and credit risk into governance language for directors and audit committees.
- Faster Recovery Cycles: Relationships built at CLLA conferences ensure your “first call” is already vetted, reducing friction when a default occurs.
- Foundational Influence: This is a section you can shape. As a member, you influence the programming, priorities, and industry standards from the ground up.
