Lee Curtis is co-founder of Legal Engine, where he is building AI agents that act as digital colleagues inside law firms.

After 20 years in legal business development, Lee became increasingly frustrated by how much valuable insight is lost in conversations, buried in inboxes, or trapped in people’s heads. Legal Engine exists to fix that.

His team builds voice-led, agentic AI systems that capture, structure and activate that intelligence in real time, turning everyday conversations into commercial output across pitches, client strategy and growth planning.

From behind-the-scenes support to client-facing interactions, his work explores when AI should stay in the background, when it belongs on the front line, and what guardrails are needed to build genuine trust.
