Our next gathering

Waitlist closed · November 4, 2026
“I've attended hundreds of conferences in this generative AI era, and none matched the “bang for the buck” speaker firepower of Generative Legal. At this moment in history, it was impressive to hear from so many changemakers who are shifting our industry toward good (for good). If this event is reprised, I'll be the first in line to get my ticket!”
Damien Riehl
Solutions Champion, Clio
“There's no better way to grapple with what this technology means in practice than informed, humble, and challenging conversations with peers who are actually living these decisions. I've found no better place to have such conversations than Generative Legal.”
Max Metzler
Senior Group Legal Counsel, Global AI Strategy, Ericsson
“Generative Legal was one of the most substantive and thoughtfully curated legal AI gatherings I have attended. The name itself feels right for this moment: we are entering a generative era in technology, and the conference created the kind of serious, high-quality dialogue that this moment demands.”
Israel Ismail
SVP & General Counsel, Signify Americas
Generative Legal is an invite-only gathering of decision-makers from across the profession. The challenges of AI adoption don't respect the traditional boundaries between us, and our conversations don't either.
The cost of attendance is complimentary. We are intentionally independent and vendor-neutral. Our commitment is to the quality of the dialogue, not to any particular technology or provider. Discussions run under the Chatham House Rule, so participants can speak openly about what's working, what isn't, and what they're grappling with behind closed doors.

The Legal Team in 2029
The legal team of 2029 may prove a meaningful departure from today’s. As AI absorbs the junior work that once filled the ranks and sustained the billable hour, teams are adding engineers and other AI specialists in their place. Alongside this, what that team can actually do turns increasingly on access to frontier models, compute, and data. This session convenes leaders rethinking who sits on the legal team, how their work should be priced, and whether frontier technology will continue to be available to lawyers across markets.
