As Seen In
Ben Chiriboga is a lawyer, founder, legal technology executive, writer, and speaker exploring how culture, technology and artificial intelligence are reshaping the legal industry, legal careers, and the business of law.
After beginning his career as a practicing lawyer, Ben moved into legal technology and has spent much of his career building, growing, and thinking about the companies and systems changing how legal services are delivered. His work focuses on a central question: as technology transforms law, what new ways of practicing, building, and creating become possible?

From Practice to Build
For generations, a legal career was primarily defined by practicing law. Technology is expanding that definition.
The next generation of legal professionals will not only practice law. They will build the products, systems, workflows, companies, and technologies through which law increasingly operates.
I think of this shift as Practice → Build.
My story
From maritime litigation to founder & legal tech executive.
In 2015, I was a senior litigation associate at a maritime firm in Miami, Fla. On the outside, everything looked great but inside something didn't feel right. I was following the traditional path of a legal career, but knew there was more to law than practicing inside a firm.
Around that same time, I began noticing new tools—legal software and early AI—quietly changing how legal work was done. That's when the realization hit: the entire legal industry would be changed by technology and you could build a meaningful career inside it.
In 2016, I took a risk and moved to New York City, leaving behind family, friends, and certainty — from beach to a basement apartment in Bushwick.
For nearly two years, nothing worked. Doors stayed closed, money ran low, and doubt was constant. It turned out changing cities wasn't enough. I had to change how I saw myself. I had to reframe how I thought about my legal career.
Fast forward ten years, it's 2026 and I'm a legal tech executive helping fast-growing legal tech companies grow. More importantly though, internally, I've walked the path from practicing lawyer to working at the intersection of law, business, and technology.
