In a world where legal challenges are growing in complexity, in-house legal teams are increasingly turning to AI and innovative tools to navigate their daily work. We are excited to welcome Chamelio, one of our startup sponsors, who is pioneering a new approach in this space.
Chamelio's platform is designed to turn a company's institutional knowledge into a dynamic, living system. Their goal is to empower legal teams, shifting their focus from reactive tasks to proactive, high-value strategy and redefining their role as a strategic business partner.
Join us on Day 2 of Legal Innovators New York to see first-hand how this shift is already redefining the legal function. Until then, keep scrolling to learn more about Chamelio and their vision for the future of legal intelligence.
Chamelio is built to be a hyper-personalized AI assistant for in-house teams. How do you believe this trend of "specialized, in-house AI" will reshape the relationship between corporate legal departments and their outside counsel?
AI makes in-house teams more productive and efficient, which means they can keep more work in-house. Much of the routine work that was traditionally outsourced because of limited capacity can now be handled internally, while outside counsel is engaged mainly for matters that truly require their expertise.
AI also helps legal teams make their internal knowledge accessible. When outside counsel is involved, the AI can provide them with the context, history, and precedents they need, information they usually lack visibility into, without requiring the in-house team to do the manual compilation. This creates a more efficient relationship with outside counsel focused on higher-value advice and strategy.
By automating contract review, you enable in-house teams to shift their focus from reactive tasks to proactive strategy. What new, high-value responsibilities do you believe this freedom will unlock for corporate legal departments, and how will it change their standing within the broader business?
When routine review work is automated, legal teams can spend more time on forward-looking responsibilities. They can focus on understanding risks across the contract portfolio, anticipating obligations, and guiding the business on how agreements impact growth and operations.
This shift also positions legal as a stronger business enabler. With more capacity, they can help drive sales, accelerate deal cycles, and identify opportunities that move the business forward. Legal becomes less of a bottleneck and more of a partner in growth, strengthening its role in strategy and decision-making.
Your platform integrates into a company's existing workflows and uses their proprietary data. How do you respond to the ethical and security concerns around handling sensitive client data, and what safeguards are in place to ensure a client's knowledge base is never used to train an external model?
Protecting client data is central to how Chamelio is built. Each customer’s documents and playbooks remain private, and their knowledge base is never shared across clients or used to train external models. The AI works only within the boundaries of the customer’s own repository, so their institutional knowledge stays theirs.
On the security side, we follow enterprise standards with SOC 2 compliance, strict access controls, and full audit logs. These safeguards ensure that sensitive legal information stays secure while allowing teams to get the full benefit of AI without compromising trust.
What is one key takeaway you hope Legal Innovators New York attendees learn from your pitch?
That legal intelligence is the next step for in-house teams. Contracts, playbooks, and past negotiations already hold the knowledge legal needs. With the right AI, that knowledge can be turned into a living system that reviews agreements, tracks obligations, and answers business questions in real time.
The key message is simple: your legal team already did the hard work. Now it is time to put that knowledge to work.
