Law Ninjas started out as a small and informal WhatsApp group with 10 in-house lawyers in August 2017.

Since then, we’ve transformed into a global community with thousands of legal professionals spread across 6 continents.  We’ve hosted a series of epic Ninja GC Summits and intimate Ninja Nights in Amsterdam, Bengaluru, Berlin, Brisbane, Cape Town, Casablanca, Dubai, Johannesburg, London, Melbourne, Mumbai, Nairobi, New Delhi, Singapore and Sydney, conducted free career workshops for the next generation of lawyers at over 60 law schools worldwide, hosted over 100 online webinars, won Businessworld’s Legal Entrepreneur of the Year Award, been nominated for two awards at the Australian Law Awards, launched groundbreaking initiatives like lawninjas.co, Ninja Club, Ninja Events, Ninja Search powered by GRM, NInja Elite and Law Ninjas of the World – And we’re JUST getting started.

For GCs and in-house counsel, Law Ninjas has become the place for professional growth and genuine relationship-building in a fun and safe environment. It’s a community where ordinary in-house lawyers are transformed into extraordinary Law Ninjas, through a unique blend of WhatsApp groups, global events, online workshops, personalised career guidance, and ongoing mentorship.
