Invite-Only · Virtual + In-Person · September 2026 – January 2027
AI providers sell efficiency. Clients hear cost reduction. Firms hear revenue risk. That gap is slowing real adoption across the industry. This cohort brings together in-house legal operations leaders and law firm business executives to close it — through structured working conversations between the people who actually have to make it work.
$1,750 — Four virtual sessions + in-person deep-dive at AI Client Connect in San Francisco.
TVPi's community includes leaders from:
470+ legal pricing and business-of-law professionals across the Am Law 200 and international firms
Law firms are deploying AI tools that change how work gets done, what it costs, and how it's priced. In-house legal teams are pushing for efficiency, transparency, and better value. But the conversation between these two groups about what AI actually means for their relationship? It's barely happening.
Firms worry AI-driven efficiency will compress fees. Clients worry firms will pocket the savings. Both are making decisions in isolation that affect the other. The result: slower adoption, misaligned expectations, and missed opportunities on both sides.
Industry conferences put in-house and firm leaders on the same stage, but rarely in the same working conversation. This cohort is built for the working conversation — structured, facilitated, and designed to produce real alignment.
AI adoption decisions being made in the next 12 months will shape law firm economics and client relationships for years. The firms and legal departments that align early will set the terms for everyone else.
Four virtual sessions between September 2026 and January 2027, plus a full-day in-person working session in San Francisco.
The only structured forum where in-house legal ops leaders and law firm business executives work through AI strategy side by side. No vendors in the room selling. No competing agendas. Shared problem-solving.
Focused discussions on the questions that matter most: How should AI change pricing? Who captures the efficiency gains? What does value look like when the work takes half the time? Sessions run between September 2026 and January 2027.
Your cohort includes access to AI Client Connect in San Francisco — a curated, full-day working session at McDermott Will & Emery's San Francisco office. Facilitated discussions, networking, and shared frameworks with both sides of the table in every conversation.
Real-time insight from TVPi's unique position between firms and the legal AI market. What firms are actually deploying, where in-house teams are pushing back, and what's working — based on direct relationships, not secondhand reporting.
Connections with leaders on both sides of the legal relationship who are navigating the same challenges. The cohort continues to share insight, resources, and perspective long after individual sessions end.
True Value Partnering Institute (TVPi) occupies a unique position in the legal industry. We're not a vendor. We're not a law firm. We're the independent professional development and research organization that works with both sides — and that independence is what makes this cohort possible.
TVPi's community spans the Am Law 200 and international firms. Our members include Chief Pricing Officers, COOs, CFOs, Directors of Legal Project Management, and senior operations leaders who shape how their firms do business.
TVPi runs the Accredited Legal Pricing Professional (ALPP) program — the only professional accreditation dedicated to legal pricing. ALPP members are the people inside law firms who understand the economics of legal service delivery at a level no one else does.
TVPi maintains active research relationships with major legal AI and technology companies. We see what's being built, what's being deployed, and what's actually changing — from both the vendor and the firm perspective.
From The Pricing Shift weekly intelligence newsletter to the upcoming Legal AI Adoption Benchmark, TVPi produces original research on how AI is reshaping legal economics. The cohort benefits from this research pipeline directly.
Over 100 Chiefs and senior business-of-law leaders from firms across the Am Law 200 are active in TVPi's executive programming. When these leaders need a peer community to navigate AI strategy, they come to TVPi.
The cohort is designed to build understanding and alignment progressively — from virtual conversations that establish shared language to an in-person day that produces concrete frameworks.
Where are firms and in-house teams on AI adoption? What's working, what's stalled, and where are the biggest gaps between what each side expects? Establishing shared ground.
When AI cuts the hours, who benefits? How should efficiency gains be shared? Working through the pricing and value models that could make AI a win for both sides.
A full day in San Francisco at McDermott Will & Emery. Facilitated working sessions, scenario exercises, and direct conversations between firm leaders and their in-house counterparts. This is where frameworks get built.
Taking the frameworks from San Francisco and working through how to implement them. What changes in the next quarter? What conversations happen back at the firm or legal department?
A forward-looking session on where AI adoption is heading and how the firm-client relationship needs to evolve. Setting priorities for the next 12 months.
Concrete frameworks, peer relationships, and a clear path forward for making AI work across the firm-client relationship.
