The Strategic Knowledge & Innovation Legal Leaders' Summit (SKILLS) is a unique community for the people leading knowledge, AI, innovation, data, operations, and transformation across the world's leading law firms. Everything we do is shaped by the community itself ensuring that our programming reflects the challenges and opportunities members are facing right now.
- The Summit (March 4, 2027) is our flagship private, in-person gathering where senior law firm leaders meet to candidly exchange ideas, compare strategies, and explore the future of legal knowledge, innovation, AI, and the business of law. By invitation only.
- The Showcase (January 14, 2027) is our free, live-streamed global event featuring rapid-fire presentations, practical case studies, and strategic discussions highlighting the latest developments in the legal sector. Community members help determine the agenda by voting on the topics they most want to explore.
- The Surveys are among the legal industry's most comprehensive benchmarking initiatives for knowledge, innovation, AI, and transformation. Every response is anonymized and aggregated to produce exclusive industry insights, year-over-year trend analysis, and research that not only helps firms benchmark themselves against their peers, but also directly shapes SKILLS programming throughout the year.
- Seminars & Workshops are held throughout the year—both virtually and in person—to provide practical education on emerging technologies, proven approaches, and real-world case studies from the firms leading change.
- UpSKILLS Certification is an upcoming professional development program designed to equip current and aspiring legal professionals with the legal context, operational knowledge, AI fluency, leadership skills, and practical tools needed to succeed in knowledge, innovation, legal operations, data, and transformation roles across law firms, legal departments, and legal technology companies.
- The Michael Mills Scholarship supports the next generation of LegalTech and legal innovation leaders while honoring the legacy of Michael Mills by expanding access to education, mentorship, and professional development opportunities.
Founded in 2003, SKILLS has been hosted by Oz Benamram throughout the years.
Each event has a single sponsor.
