The Cowen Group. Home of SOLID.

Since 2006, The Cowen Group has brought senior legal leaders together. Today that community lives at SOLID, the Summit on Legal Innovation and Disruption. Everything we do is at solid.legal.

Why we do this

The right people at the same table.

For forty years I have tracked the people building the future of law. The Cowen Group began in 2006 as a place for them to meet, and that idea grew into everything SOLID is today: the summits, the Friday Café, the Think Tanks, the dinners, and the Careers in the Business of Law podcast.

Our mission

To put the right people at the same table: general counsel, legal operations leaders, law firm partners, and the technologists and service providers who work alongside them. High-trust conversations where senior leaders exchange insight, build relationships, and move the industry forward together.

Our vision

A legal economy that is expanding, not shrinking. In a market shaped by AI, data, operations, talent, and business strategy, the signal comes from the people already in motion. SOLID is where they meet, so no leader has to figure out what's next alone.
