Bring Together Leaders Shaping the Future of
AI + LegalTech

 

In a legal industry undergoing unprecedented transformation, the conversations that matter most aren't happening at crowded conferences. They're happening in intimate gatherings where Chief Legal Officers, General Counsel, Legal Operations leaders, LegalTech founders, and venture investors come together—not to pitch or present, but to strategize, challenge assumptions, and forge the partnerships that will define the future of law.

Chief LegalX is that rare space. Invitation-only. Deliberately curated. Fiercely committed to substance over spectacle.

We believe that real innovation happens not in keynote halls, but in intimate spaces where diverse perspectives collide, where challenges are discussed candidly, and where strategic relationships are forged. Chief LegalX is where transformative ideas meet actionable insights, where cutting-edge technology is evaluated with rigor, and where a powerful peer network becomes your most valuable asset for leading the next chapter of the legal industry.

"Chief LegalX brings together the people shaping the future of law—it's where real conversations about innovation happen."

“Participating in SF Tech Week and being a part of the panel on the Future of AI and Legal Tech was a fantastic experience. The session was both informative and conversational, sparked by great questions from the audience... It was a wonderful opportunity to discuss the practical shifts happening in our industry.”

Why We Exist

The legal industry doesn’t lack networking events. So why does Chief LegalX exist? Because the conversations that matter most, the ones about real-world AI implementation challenges and candid discussions of what actually works, weren’t happening anywhere else.

Traditional conferences pack thousands into ballrooms. Bar associations focus on compliance. And LinkedIn offers connections without depth.

The Gap We Identified

Legal executives driving innovation needed a different kind of forum:

  • Candid, pitch-free conversations
  • A rare mix of in-house leaders, LegalTech founders, and investors
  • Small, intimate gatherings that enable real connection
  • A focus on what actually works—not just what’s new

The future of legal isn’t driven by technology alone. It emerges where legal leadership, innovation, and investment intersect—when CLOs, builders, and funders engage in the same room.

How It Was Born

Chief LegalX was founded by leaders deeply rooted in legal innovation, in partnership with the Law Innovation Agency. We launched with a clear vision: to create the kind of gathering we ourselves wanted to attend.

Our inaugural collaborations, including the highly successful Future of AI + LegalTech: Unplugged event during SF Tech Week 2025, confirmed this shared hunger. With more than 90 attendees, including CLOs from major enterprises, the event demonstrated the power of bringing the right people into the right conversations.

What Makes Chief LegalX Different

We are not another conference.  We are a paradigm shift in how legal leaders connect and innovate.

Invitation-Only, Deliberately Curated

Unlike open-registration conferences, membership is by invitation. We curate to ensure every member brings valuable perspective.

Intimate Gatherings, Not Conferences

Deliberately small events. No getting lost in crowds. You'll have meaningful conversations that continue long after the event ends.

Peer-to-Peer Dialogue

Our format emphasizes dialogue and debate, not sitting passively through presentations. Everyone contributes as a peer.

The Power of Cross-Pollination

We mix Legal Executives, LegalTech Founders, and Venture Investors. This diversity generates insights no single-constituency organization can match.

No-Pitch Promise

Vendor-pitch-free zones. Events prioritize authentic dialogue over sales presentations.

Regional Focus with National Vision

Building through regional hubs (SF, NYC) with a vision to create a national network.

Action-Oriented Outcomes

Designed to produce insights, partnerships, and tangible outcomes, not just networking.
