Terms and Conditions

Each Event is a private, professional business event produced for a limited and screened audience. Your ticket is not a property right and does not create a right of entry. Your ticket is a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to attend the specific Event for which it was issued, subject to these Terms and to the Organizer's continuing approval of your eligibility.

The Organizer reserves the right, in its sole discretion and for any lawful reason, to decline any registration, cancel any ticket before the Event, refuse admission at the door, or revoke admission and require any person to leave the Event premises at any time, subject to Sections 12 and 13 below.

Tickets are sold exclusively to, and Events are designed exclusively for:

1. a.Primary Attendees. Attorneys who are currently licensed and in good standing before the bar of at least one United States jurisdiction, and who own, co-own, or hold a leadership or management role in a United States law firm or legal department.
2. b.Team Passes. Non-attorney members of a Primary Attendee's own firm (for example, partners, associates, paralegals, administrators, marketing directors, operations staff, or COO level personnel) who attend under a Team Pass purchased by, and in the company of, that Primary Attendee. A Team Pass is valid only for a bona fide, W-2 or contracted member of the Primary Attendee's firm.
3. c.Other Categories. Law students, legal professionals who are not licensed attorneys, invited speakers, sponsors, press, and guests may attend only with the Organizer's prior express written approval, and only under the conditions stated in that approval.

Every person who purchases, registers, or attends represents and warrants that the information they provide, including bar number, licensing jurisdiction, firm name, and role, is true, current, and complete.

The Organizer may, at any time before or during an Event, request and independently verify bar admission, license status, firm affiliation, disciplinary status, employment relationship, and identity, including by requiring government issued photo identification at check in.

If the Organizer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that a registrant does not meet the eligibility criteria in Section 2, or that any registration information is false, incomplete, or misleading, the Organizer may cancel the registration and deny admission. Where the registration is cancelled before the Event begins solely because the registrant does not meet the eligibility criteria, the Organizer will refund the ticket price paid. Where eligibility misrepresentation is discovered after the Event has begun, admission may be revoked without refund.

The following persons are not eligible to register or attend, absent the Organizer's prior express written approval:

1. a.Vendors and service providers. Any person whose purpose, in whole or in part, is to market, promote, demonstrate, or sell products or services to Event attendees, speakers, sponsors, or staff. This includes, without limitation, legal technology and software companies, artificial intelligence vendors, marketing, SEO, media buying and advertising agencies, lead generation companies, case acquisition and mass tort brokers, litigation funders, medical funding and lien companies, court reporting, records retrieval, and process serving companies, staffing, offshoring, and virtual assistant providers, expert witness brokers, insurance and financial products salespersons, coaches and consultants, business brokers, private equity and investor representatives, and any similar commercial party.
2. b.Recruiters. Legal recruiters, headhunters, and staffing representatives.
3. c.Competitors. Any person who owns, operates, works for, contracts with, or advises a business that offers coaching, consulting, training, education, or implementation services to law firms that are substantially similar to those offered by Next Level Lawyer.
4. d.Press and media. Journalists, bloggers, podcasters, content creators, and analysts attending in a reporting or content capacity.
5. e.Non attorneys who are not covered by a valid Team Pass or an approved exception under Section 2(c).
6. f.Minors. No person under 18 years of age may attend. No children, infants, family members, or non registered companions may be present in Event space.
7. g.Any person previously removed from a Next Level Lawyer Event, or previously barred from future Events by the Organizer.

Registrations that fall into a category above may be cancelled at any time before the Event with a refund of the ticket price, or, if the disqualifying fact was concealed from the Organizer, cancelled or revoked without refund.

Events are a learning environment, not a trade show or exhibition floor. Regardless of your eligibility category, the following conduct is strictly prohibited anywhere at the Event, including in session rooms, hallways, meals, networking receptions, hotel common areas associated with the Event, and any official Event chat, app, or group:

1. a.Pitching, marketing, demonstrating, or selling any product or service to attendees, speakers, sponsors, or staff.
2. b.Distributing brochures, flyers, samples, promotional items, QR codes, sign-up sheets, or any marketing material.
3. c.Setting up any table, booth, banner, display, or signage.
4. d.Photographing, scanning, or collecting attendee badges, name tags, or contact information for commercial list building purposes.
5. e.Recruiting or attempting to recruit attendees, attendees' employees, speakers, or Organizer personnel for employment or contract work while at the Event. Nothing in this paragraph restricts any person's hiring decisions outside the Event.
6. f.Promoting or recruiting for any multi-level marketing, referral network, investment opportunity, or affiliate program.
7. g.Soliciting attendees for legal representation, co-counsel arrangements, case referrals, or fee sharing in a manner that violates any applicable rule of professional conduct.
8. h.Using the attendee roster, group chat, Event app, or any contact information obtained at the Event for unsolicited commercial outreach after the Event.

Ordinary, mutual professional networking between eligible attorney attendees is welcome and is not restricted by this Section.

All attendees are expected to conduct themselves in a professional, lawful, and respectful manner at all times. The following conduct is prohibited:

1. a.Harassment, intimidation, bullying, stalking, unwanted physical contact, or unwelcome sexual attention directed at any attendee, speaker, staff member, or venue employee.
2. b.Threats, violence, or any conduct that a reasonable person would find physically intimidating.
3. c.Disruption of sessions, including repeated interruption, heckling, refusing to yield the floor, filibustering Q and A, or persistent off topic argumentation that interferes with the program.
4. d.Appearing at the Event under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substance to a degree that impairs conduct, and any possession or use of illegal substances.
5. e.Damage to, or theft of, property belonging to the venue, the Organizer, or any attendee.
6. f.Violation of any venue rule, health and safety rule, posted policy, or the lawful instruction of Organizer or venue staff.

2. b.Organizer intellectual property. All Event content, including presentations, slide decks, frameworks, prompts, templates, workflows, systems, workbooks, recordings, and handouts, is the confidential and proprietary property of the Organizer, protected by copyright and other laws. Attendees receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use such materials solely within their own law firm and solely for their own internal business purposes.
3. c.No competitive use. Attendees may not reproduce, republish, resell, license, distribute, publicly present, or use Event materials to create, market, or deliver any competing coaching, consulting, training, or educational product or service.
4. d.Attendee confidentiality. Attendees frequently disclose sensitive information about their firms, revenue, staffing, cases, and clients. You agree not to disclose outside the Event any non-public information about another attendee's practice, business, or clients that is shared in an Event session, and not to attribute any statement to a named attendee without that attendee's consent.
5. e.These obligations survive the Event indefinitely.

The Organizer and its personnel and contractors record and photograph Events. By attending, you grant the Organizer a perpetual, worldwide, royalty free, irrevocable, sublicensable right and license to record, photograph, reproduce, edit, publish, distribute, and publicly display your name, voice, image, likeness, statements, questions, and testimonial comments captured at the Event, in any medium now known or later developed, for the Organizer's marketing, promotional, educational, and archival purposes, without further notice, approval, or compensation.

If you do not wish to appear in Event footage, you must notify the Organizer in writing at julio@nextlevellawyer.com before the Event and follow the seating and identification instructions provided to you at check-in. The Organizer will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the request but cannot guarantee exclusion from all footage in a live, multi-camera environment.

1. a.Events are business education for legal professionals. Nothing presented at an Event constitutes legal, tax, accounting, financial, or ethics advice, and no attorney-client relationship is created between you and the Organizer, its principals, speakers, or personnel.
2. b.Speakers may be licensed attorneys, but they do not appear in the capacity of your counsel.
3. c.You are solely responsible for evaluating and complying with the rules of professional conduct, advertising rules, unauthorized practice of law rules, fee sharing rules, client confidentiality obligations, and data protection and privilege obligations applicable in every jurisdiction in which you practice, including with respect to any artificial intelligence tool, technology, marketing method, or business practice discussed at an Event.
4. d.Unless expressly stated on the registration page for a particular Event, Events are not accredited for continuing legal education credit in any jurisdiction.

The Organizer makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee regarding revenue, profit, case volume, client acquisition, cost savings, growth, or any other business result you may obtain from attending an Event or implementing any concept presented. Any figures, case studies, testimonials, or examples presented reflect the experience of specific individuals and are not typical, average, or promised results. Your results depend on numerous factors outside the Organizer's control, including your market, practice area, capital, staffing, effort, and execution.

1. a.Non-transferable. Tickets are personal to the named registrant and may not be sold, resold, auctioned, bartered, assigned, gifted, or transferred. Any ticket obtained through unauthorized resale is void.
2. b.Name changes. A registrant may request a substitution of an eligible attendee from the same firm by written request to julio@nextlevellawyer.com no later than 5 business days before the Event. Substitutions are subject to the Organizer's approval and to eligibility verification.
3. c.Refund policy. All ticket sales are final and non-refundable. A registrant who cannot attend may apply the ticket value as a credit toward a future Next Level Lawyer Event held within twelve months, upon written request received at least 5 business days before the Event.
4. d.No refund on removal. Except as expressly stated in Sections 3 and 4, no refund, credit, or compensation of any kind will be issued to any person who is denied admission or removed from an Event under Section 12, or who leaves an Event voluntarily.
5. e.Travel and expenses. You are solely responsible for your travel, lodging, meals not expressly included, and all related costs. The Organizer is not responsible for any such costs under any circumstance, including cancellation, postponement, relocation, denial of admission, or removal.
6. f.Chargebacks. You agree to contact the Organizer at julio@nextlevellawyer.com to resolve any billing dispute before initiating a chargeback or payment dispute. Initiating a chargeback in violation of this paragraph or in contravention of the refund policy is a material breach of these Terms, and the Organizer may recover the disputed amount, chargeback fees, and its costs of collection, including damages and reasonable attorney fees.

The Organizer may deny admission to, or immediately remove from the Event premises, any person, without refund and without further obligation, on any of the following grounds:

1. a.Failure to meet, or misrepresentation of, the eligibility requirements in Section 2.
2. b.Falling within a prohibited category under Section 4, where that fact was not disclosed and approved in writing.
3. c.Violation of the no solicitation provisions of Section 5.
4. d.Violation of the Code of Conduct in Section 6.
5. e.Violation of the confidentiality, recording, or intellectual property provisions of Section 7.
6. f.Presenting a ticket that is void, transferred, duplicated, or fraudulently obtained.
7. g.Failure to present valid identification matching the registration.
8. h.Violation of any venue rule, health and safety requirement, or applicable law, or refusal to follow the lawful instruction of Organizer or venue staff.
9. i.Any conduct that the Organizer reasonably determines presents a risk to the safety, security, or professional environment of the Event.

Removal may be accompanied, at the Organizer's discretion, by revocation of access to Event materials, removal from Event digital channels, and a bar from future Next Level Lawyer Events. You agree that removal or denial of admission under this Section is a permitted exercise of the Organizer's rights under a revocable license and does not constitute a breach of contract, and you waive any claim for damages arising from it, other than as required by applicable law. You further agree that remaining on the premises after being asked to leave constitutes trespass.

The Organizer applies these Terms uniformly and does not deny admission to, or remove, any person on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, pregnancy, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law. Admission decisions are based solely on eligibility criteria and conduct.

Attendees requiring a disability related accommodation should contact julio@nextlevellawyer.com at least 5 business days before the Event so that reasonable accommodations can be arranged. Service animals are welcome in accordance with applicable law.

1. a.Assumption of risk. You voluntarily assume all risks associated with attending an in person Event, including risks of personal injury, illness, communicable disease, property damage, and loss or theft of personal property.
2. b.Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release and discharge the Organizer, its parents, affiliates, members, officers, employees, contractors, speakers, sponsors, and venue partners from all claims, demands, damages, and causes of action arising out of or relating to your attendance, other than those caused by the Organizer's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
3. c.Indemnification. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Organizer and the parties listed above from any claim, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorney fees, arising from your breach of these Terms, your conduct at the Event, or the conduct of any person attending under a Team Pass purchased by you or registered under your account. A Primary Attendee is fully responsible for the conduct and compliance of every person attending under their Team Pass.

The Organizer may change the date, time, location, venue, format, agenda, speakers, or content of any Event. If the Organizer cancels an Event outright and does not offer a substitute date, the Organizer's sole obligation, and your sole remedy, is a refund of the ticket price paid or a credit toward a future Event, at the Organizer's election.

The Organizer is not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, severe weather, natural disaster, fire, flood, epidemic or pandemic, government action or restriction, public health emergency, labor dispute, venue failure, utility or telecommunications failure, terrorism, civil unrest, or travel disruption.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability of the Organizer and the parties listed in Section 14(b) arising out of or relating to any Event or these Terms shall not exceed the amount you actually paid for your ticket. In no event shall the Organizer be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost business, lost data, or travel and lodging costs, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Registration data is processed in accordance with the Next Level Lawyer Privacy Policy. By registering, you consent to receive Event-related communications from the Organizer, and to receive marketing communications from the Organizer, which you may opt out of at any time. The Organizer does not sell or rent the attendee list. Where sponsors are present at an Event, badge scanning or contact sharing will occur only with your affirmative opt in.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or any Event shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by arbitration under its commercial rules, before a single arbitrator, seated in Los Angeles, California. You and the Organizer each waive any right to a jury trial and any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action.

In any proceeding to enforce these Terms, the prevailing party is entitled to recover its reasonable attorney fees and costs.

1. a.Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Event registration page, the Privacy Policy, and any written approval issued by the Organizer, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Event and supersede all prior communications, representations, and understandings.
2. b.Amendment. The Organizer may update these Terms at any time by posting a revised version. The version in effect on the date of the Event governs your attendance.
3. c.Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force.
4. d.No waiver. The Organizer's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of its right to enforce it later.
5. e.Survival. Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 16, 17, 18, and 19 survive the Event.
6. f.Independent parties. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, or franchise relationship.
