August 18, 2025

Hi there, 

It’s the dog days of summer, but that doesn’t mean Legal Operators is taking time off. In fact, we’ve got a few new things to send your way.

First, we’ve got a bunch of new virtual events coming your way over the next couple of months. If you want to learn from experts about the way that AI is shaping legal tech and legal departments, tune in:

  • A session on AI agents with head of the AI Legal Academy at Wordsmith AI on September 4: Sign up today!

  • A deep dive on AI + legal with the founder of Chamelio on October 8: Sign up here

  • An educational workshop with the team at GC.AI on October 21: Sign up here

Second, we tracked down four or five jobs that pay $200k+ (one as high as $366k!) for you this week. Does this mean that companies are starting to realize the true value that legal ops brings? We’re not celebrating yet, but this is a good signal for all of us.
