Our diverse community comprises lawyers, legal operations specialists, and various other legal professionals. This diversity strengthens our community and drives us towards more equitable and inclusive legal practices.
Building a Strong Community
At Legal.io, we believe in the power of community. We are actively working to strengthen the ties between the legal professionals we serve. We do this through a roadshow tour, visiting different parts of the country to connect with our members. We also manage an in-house Slack community where over 2,000 dedicated members discuss topics ranging from careers to legal software. This space facilitates real-time collaboration and knowledge sharing, fostering a sense of camaraderie among legal professionals across the globe.
Promoting Salary Transparency and Equity
We recently released a new salary tool for legal professionals in our commitment to knowledge sharing. This tool provides anonymized data about compensation for legal professionals with various titles and years of experience in different parts of the country. By illuminating the often hidden aspects of compensation, our salary tool empowers our community of professionals to make strategic choices for their careers and their teams. It also promotes salary transparency, fostering equity and inclusion in the legal industry.
