Nominations are open for the 2025 Arizona Corporate Counsel Awards, which honors the best in-house counsel and corporate legal teams in Arizona. Deadline for nominations is Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2024.

“While maintaining a firm handle on the traditional functions of the legal department, the roles of in-house attorneys are expanding to handle complex issues such as regulation and compliance, data privacy and cybersecurity issues,” says AZ Big Media Editor in Chief Michael Gossie. “It’s a difficult, yet vital role that has a direct impact on every organization’s bottom line. And never has the role been more vital — or more challenging — than it’s been in 2024.”
