City Circles for Women in Law

AI for Breakfast City Circles are intimate gatherings of women professionals featuring salon-style discussions and hands-on AI competency development that combine learning with relationship-building.

Circles offer a third space, distinct from places of employment and traditional professional communities, where women come together for peer collaboration, intelligence sharing, and exploring the opportunities and challenges of AI transformation in law.

Why City Circles

As AI transforms the legal sector, the opportunities and challenges span multiple dimensions: how to position careers for a future being built in real time, capture entrepreneurial and societal opportunities, and shape the policy conversations that will guide its course.

The pace of change has outpaced traditional models for connection and learning. City Circles are built for continuous, trusted peer engagement across institutions and sectoral lines.

Who Circles are for

Circles convene women across the legal ecosystem in select global cities.
