Navigating the Shift: Honest Conversations About AI in Legal

Please note this event is exclusive to Legal Ops Professional Members.

We’ve all heard the buzz: AI is changing everything. But behind the headlines and polished webinars, there’s a quieter reality—people trying to keep up, figure it out, and not burn out along the way.

Join us for a CLOC New York virtual gathering designed to cut through the noise. We’ll open with a 10-minute hot take from Stacy Lettie, sharing how she went from “please don’t say AI one more time” to rethinking her role and direction. Then, through guided prompts, we’ll dive into a candid conversation that meets people where they actually are:

  • Who feels threatened by AI?
  • Who doesn’t have the bandwidth to learn one more thing?
  • Who’s found ways to adapt and thrive—and what can we learn from them?

This is a safe space to share honestly—no slides, no sales pitches, no pressure. Just real talk, practical takeaways, and a chance to connect with others navigating the same shift. Whether you’re overwhelmed, excited, skeptical, or all three, you’re welcome here. Space is intentionally limited. RSVP to join the conversation.
