NAPABA Connects 2025

Applications Due: July 15, 2025

We’re excited to announce that the in-house counsel application is now open for NAPABA Connects, our premier program designed exclusively for in-house counsel NAPABA members who register for Convention and to Solo and Small Firm, Gold, or higher-level sponsors.

Through NAPABA Connects, in-house counsel will be matched with law firm attorneys for one-on-one meetings, giving you the opportunity to expand and diversify your preferred provider network. In addition to the opportunity to meet with new outside counsel, NAPABA will be offering in-house counsel the opportunity to meet with existing preferred provider firms. These curated meetings are designed to foster connection and long-term collaboration. By participating, both in-house counsel and law firm attorneys can strategically grow their networks and support each other’s professional advancement.

Don’t wait to submit your application—this is a program you don’t want to miss!

Please note that participants must be registered for the 2025 NAPABA Convention (November 6–8, Denver, CO). As part of this program, NAPABA will offer participating in-house counsel a partial Convention registration reimbursement depending on the number of meetings you volunteer to participate in. The maximum reimbursement amount is $750.
