Big Law’s Biggest AI Bet: A Talk With Kirkland & Ellis Partner Ari Levi
This spring, Kirkland & Ellis committed $500 million to building its own AI platform, with more than 180 engineers and 250 lawyers working on the project. Join SAILS for a lunch talk with Kirkland partner Ari Levi on what the world’s largest law firm is actually building across litigation, transactions, and investment funds. Ari will also discuss why Kirkland chose to build rather than buy, and how the firm is training junior lawyers to work with AI. Followed by an open Q&A.
Thursday, October 29, 2026, 12:45 to 2:00pm.
Lunch provided.
