Luminate+

Luminate+ is a new video streaming platform committed to giving professionals an invaluable career development tool and a rare opportunity to learn from the leaders who are reshaping the future of legal. Luminate+ also serves as a CLE platform for attorneys to satisfy their CLE requirements (more info on CLE below).

We bring forth perspectives and insights from some of the most respected leaders and experts in the legal profession. Top general counsel, business executives, law firm leaders and top consultants and academics are among those who power the Luminate+ conversations. You can review our speaker roster at https://luminateplus.com/speakers.

Luminate+ is the only content offering that is centered around the voice of the client. We offer a rare and coveted first-hand look at the issues, challenges and priorities that general counsel, business executives and other industry leaders are focused on. Whether you're an in-house attorney on your way to becoming the next great legal executive, or outside counsel advising those legal executives, the opportunity to hear directly from the client is an invaluable career development opportunity.

What further sets us apart from the pack is our technology and the production value of our content. Like Netflix or Disney+, we’ve designed a streaming experience built around easy and satisfying consumption of premium content. Users can identify their favorite series, watch short episodes on their phone or computer and pick up where they left off while commuting to work, in the office or on the road.

Luminate+ is a video streaming platform similar to Netflix or Disney+. Like many streaming platforms, we produce original video series organized into episodes that are intended for ongoing consumption. Each Luminate+ series centers around a cutting edge legal theme and is hosted by a renowned thought leader who invites leading experts, practitioners and business leaders to engage in conversations on a particular topic. You can review all of the Luminate+ series at https://luminateplus.com/series/all.
