Every year, RLLB shimmers even brighter than the year before. It's a time when thoughtful people navigating through a turbulent industry come together to share knowledge, ask questions, and learn. The founder's deep belief in building a community of people who care deeply about each other and share a passion for personal and professional development is soulful and authentic. It's a place where you make new friends for life and reconnect with old friends that you treasure.

Running Legal Like a Business is where I go to step away from daily tasks and think strategically about how we run Legal as a business. The room is filled with the most senior leaders in Legal Operations and across the Legal ecosystem. Everyone speaks candidly about what works and what doesn't.

As VP of Legal Operations at Belron, I attend to learn. Equally important, I attend to give back. RLLB is a place where everyone contributes, not just consumes. I have spoken at the Conference, and the conversations that start in those rooms continue long after the event ends. They become ongoing collaborations and, in many cases, lifelong mentor and mentee relationships.

If you are serious about elevating the impact of Legal Operations in your organization, RLLB is one of the few places where you can sharpen your thinking and help shape the future of our profession.

The RLLB Conference, thoughtfully created and led by Connie Brenton and Jeffrey Franke, was an exceptional gathering of forward-thinking leaders driving meaningful change across the legal ecosystem. I was honored to contribute as a speaker and to learn from so many brilliant colleagues whose insights and experiences continue to elevate our profession.

Every aspect of the conference reflected Connie and Jeff’s vision and care—from the thoughtfully curated agenda to the depth of discussion and genuine sense of community. The result was a space that inspired both strategic thinking and authentic connection. I left energized, reflective, and deeply grateful to be part of this remarkable community of innovators.

RLLB is a must-attend event for three reasons: 1) the sessions are led by industry peers navigating and solving our common challenges; 2) the practical presentations consistently offer concrete take-aways equipping me to better support my department; and 3) our conversations are richer because of the year-round opportunities to build connections through LegalOps.com’ regional and other communities.

RLLB consistently delivers a high ROI because of its industry peer-led, practical sessions. They get down to earth fast and I always leave with multiple, concrete take-aways. It’s a must-attend event for legal ops leaders.

Running Legal Like a Business brings together legal departments, vendors, and law firms in a way that few platforms achieve, giving cross-functional teams a shared place to focus on what drives performance. I have attended more conferences than I can count, and RLLB consistently delivers insights that justify the investment. It moves the conversation from tasks to outcomes and gives leaders the clarity they need to turn legal operations in to a strategic engine.

Attending the Running Legal Like a Business conference was incredibly insightful.  I valued hearing firsthand accounts from both law firm and in-house legal professionals on how they approach industry-specific tasks and challenges, including how both sides can work better together.  The sessions provided practical, real-world examples, and actionable tips.  This conference is a must for anyone looking to run their legal work more efficiently and collaboratively.
