The strategic move unites the business and practice of law amid rapid industry transformation.

NEW YORK: The L Suite (TechGC), the premier community for General Counsels (GCs) and Chief Legal Officers (CLOs) today announced the acquisition of LINK (Legal Innovators Network), a leading network of over 800 senior legal operations professionals founded by Stephanie Corey and Andrew Dick.

The acquisition underscores The L Suite’s commitment to elevating the legal industry, fostering collaboration between General Counsels and other executives, and breaking down silos between legal teams and legal operations professionals.

“As GenAI and other transformative forces reshape the legal profession, forward-thinking collaboration is no longer optional — it’s essential,” said Stephanie Corey, Co-founder of LINK, Co-founder of the Corporate Legal Operations Consortium (CLOC), and a pioneering force in the legal operations field. “This integration of LINK into The L Suite will allow General Counsels and their legal ops teams to learn from each other in a way that hasn’t been possible before. We’re creating a truly interconnected community for legal professionals to lead through change together.”

The acquisition delivers immediate and long-term benefits to members of both communities:

  • Expanded Content and Events: In 2025, LINK will host an expanded lineup of events, including an offsite retreat, a live conference, 15-20 regional workshops, and regular virtual panels. This complements The L Suite’s 300+ annual events, providing unparalleled opportunities for education, networking, and growth.
  • Bridging the Gap: The combined community will create unique opportunities for legal executives and their teams to connect, learn, and solve challenges together — addressing a longstanding need for collaboration in the legal field.
  • Strengthened Online Engagement: The L Suite’s robust digital platform will amplify LINK’s ability to deliver actionable insights and drive deeper connections and engagement among members.

The acquisition comes at a pivotal time for the legal profession. General Counsels are increasingly called upon to impact business results and to integrate technology into their departments, while legal operations leaders are tasked with driving efficiency and innovation. Both groups must navigate the challenges posed by AI, economic uncertainty, and shifting expectations for legal teams.

“How are we leveraging AI?” is a question every General Counsel is getting from their Board and Executive Team. It’s now more important than ever for GCs to be on the cutting edge of technology and to work closely with their legal operations colleagues,” said Kiran Lingam, Co-founder at The L Suite. “This partnership brings a tremendous amount of AI, legal tech and legal operations expertise to our community and creates a platform where we can exchange ideas, share expertise, and shape the future of the profession together.”

SpotDraft, a founding partner of LINK, praised the partnership’s broader impact. “SpotDraft is thrilled to partner with LINK and The L Suite to drive meaningful change in the legal profession,” said Akshay Verma, COO of SpotDraft. “This partnership reflects our shared belief that collaboration and innovation are the keys to addressing the challenges of modern legal practice. Together, we are building a stronger, more connected legal ecosystem, empowering professionals to thrive in an ever-evolving landscape.”

Lawtrades, also a founding partner of LINK, echoed this enthusiasm. “We’ve been proud partners of The L Suite—formerly TechGC—since its inception and have been inspired by its growth,” said Ashish Walia, Cofounder and COO of Lawtrades. “As an inaugural partner, we’re excited to support this next chapter. The acquisition of LINK underscores The L Suite’s commitment to uniting the legal ecosystem, and we look forward to fostering innovation and collaboration across the GC and legal operations communities under this expanded vision.”

All of The L Suite’s legal communities will come together this fall at the 1st Annual General Counsel Legal Operations Symposium, taking place at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco and co-chaired by Bill Berry, GC, Verkada and Kimberly Woodward, Chief of Staff/VP Legal, Okta. This annual marquee event will foster learning and collaboration among GCs and senior legal ops leaders while serving as an annual showcase of the latest in legal technology.

Under The L Suite umbrella, LINK will be led by its existing LINK Advisory Council alongside a newly formed General Counsel Advisory Board, including:

  • David Morris, Snyk, General Counsel
  • Bill Berry, Verkada, General Counsel
  • Joseph Litman, Lumivero, General Counsel
  • Suk Kim, Zapier, General Counsel
  • Jesse Ma, Apartment Therapy, General Counsel
  • Eugene Karlik, Charlie Health, General Counsel
  • Stephanie Adamson King, Playco, Chief Legal Officer
  • Derek Russell-Kraft, Wellthy, General Counsel

As The L Suite and LINK join forces, the community invites GCs, legal operations professionals, and partners to be part of this movement to redefine legal leadership. Additionally, The L Suite is actively hiring for roles in events and community management to support this expansion.
