Legal Engineers NYC

A hands-on group for people who turn law, policy, and practice into the workflows, agents, evals, and controls that run legal work. We meet weekly in Manhattan, laptops open, and build something each time.

Sessions

Ninety minutes. A member leads a build for thirty. Someone shows a work in progress and the room reacts. Someone brings a problem or a failure. Then drinks. No panels, no pitches. No coding required: if you can write a firm policy sentence, you can write a rule, and the tools do the rest.

Then weekly on Thursdays. Topics announced a week ahead and led by members.

Who comes

Practice innovation and knowledge leads, legal ops, lawyers who own a playbook or a policy, in-house teams building their own agents, legal engineers at firms and at legal AI companies, academics, and students. If you build, roll out, or run the systems that do legal work, or want to, you belong here.

  • Laptops open. Every session builds something. If you came to watch, bring a problem instead.
  • Bring any platform. Harvey, Legora, Norm, CoCounsel, your own stack, or a spreadsheet. The room is about the work, not the tool.
  • No pitches from the floor. Show what you built or what broke. Vendors build alongside everyone else.

Leaders dinner. Once a quarter, twelve seats, for innovation chiefs, knowledge officers, legal ops directors, and general counsel. One question per dinner, no laptops, Chatham House rule. Mention it when you RSVP.
