# Legal Leaders

> Legal Leaders is a free global community for in-house legal professionals, with 15,000+ members worldwide. It helps experienced and aspiring legal leaders connect, share insights, and grow their careers through events, a podcast, a magazine, online courses, articles, and research reports. Legal Leaders is run by LawVu (LawVu Limited), the legal operating system for in-house legal teams.

Legal Leaders brings together in-house legal professionals to navigate the realities of leading modern legal teams. Membership is free. The community is organised around three pillars: Connect (virtual and in-person meetups plus the annual Legal Leaders Connect conference), Contribute (appear on the podcast, speak at the conference, or write for the magazine), and Upskill (free online courses, a bi-annual magazine, a published book, articles, and a podcast).

Legal Leaders is operated by LawVu and is distinct from the LawVu product site at https://lawvu.com. This community hub focuses on peer connection, thought leadership, and professional development rather than the LawVu platform itself.
