A TVPi Peer Cohort

January – March 2027 | Virtual

BD & Finance in the Legal AI Era

AI is reshaping how law firms win work, measure profitability, and plan for the future. But the conversation keeps happening without the people who own business development and financial strategy. This cohort changes that. BD and finance leaders sit together — across firms — to figure out what AI actually means for pipeline, pricing, revenue forecasting, and client growth. Not theory. Not a vendor demo. A working peer group tackling the questions that matter to your function.

A curated peer group of senior BD and finance professionals from leading law firms.

Why This Cohort

BD and finance can't sit out the AI conversation

AI is changing how firms win work

Clients are asking about your AI story in pitches. RFPs now include AI capability questions. BD teams need to articulate what AI means for service delivery — and they can't do that without understanding how finance is modeling the economics.

The financial model is shifting under your feet

Token costs, efficiency gains that clients want passed through, new pricing structures for AI-assisted work — finance leaders need to understand what's changing before the next budget cycle, not after.

BD and finance need each other more than ever

The firms getting AI right are the ones where business development and financial planning talk to each other. This cohort creates that bridge — across firms, not just within them.

TVPi sits at the center of the conversation

TVPi works with business-of-law leaders across the Am Law 200 and maintains active relationships with major legal AI companies. This cohort gets real market intelligence, not conference recaps.

What You Get

A working peer group, not a lecture series

Understand what peer firms are doing with AI

Move past vendor marketing and hear directly from BD and finance leaders at other firms about what they're deploying, what's working, and what they'd do differently.

Build your firm's AI narrative for clients

Work with peers to develop the language and frameworks your BD team needs to talk about AI credibly in pitches, proposals, and client conversations.

Get ahead of the financial modeling challenge

Explore how firms are modeling AI costs, measuring ROI, and adjusting pricing — before your partners and clients start asking questions you can't answer.

Make cross-functional connections that last

The cohort isn't a one-off event. It's an ongoing peer group of BD and finance leaders who share resources, insights, and approaches all year.

Who Should Attend

Who This Is For

BD & Marketing Directors

You're fielding client questions about AI, writing it into pitches, and trying to differentiate your firm — but the technology conversation keeps happening without you.

Finance Leaders & CFOs

You're modeling costs, planning budgets, and measuring ROI on AI investments — but the data you need doesn't exist yet and nobody's built the frameworks.

Revenue & Pricing Officers

You sit at the intersection of BD and finance. AI is changing both sides of your world and you need a peer group that understands the full picture.
