RLLB 2025: Fusing Tech and Legal

by Eli Chan & Ethan Wo, VPG Contributors

The Running Legal Like a Business (RLLB 2025) conference, hosted by LegalOps.com in Las Vegas, is a premier event focused on management, operations, and leadership in the legal industry. With over 700 attendees and collaborations between LegalOps, ADAPT.legal, LawVision, and USIPA/GLIPA, it offers a unique space to explore the business side of law while building personal brands and professional connections.

We’ve been given the opportunity to participate in a panel titled, “Innovating LegalOps: Bridging the Gap between Law and Tech”, which aims to spark meaningful dialogue around the intersection of innovation, artificial intelligence, and data in legal operations. Over the past month, we’ve been collaborating on ideas and identifying thought-provoking questions that resonate across all IP roles. We're especially focused on creating a panel that is engaging, fresh, and relevant—drawing on advice from experienced panel hosts to guide us.

This panel would not have been made possible without the generous sponsorship support from Ashley Cheung of VPG, Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox, PLLC, and Jessica Broyles. We’re excited to present this panel in September 2025. Details to follow. This is an event not to be missed!
