Operation Safe Spaces

Advancing Safety, Respect & Inclusion
in the legal industry

A Life Preservers Project Initiative

At the core of every successful industry is a dedication to dignity, safety, and inclusion. In the legal and legal technology sectors, that dedication must go beyond words. Operation Safe Spaces (OSS) is an initiative focused on creating meaningful change in how our professional environments function, beginning with education, allyship, and accountability. 

As part of the Life Preservers Project, a nonprofit dedicated to combating human trafficking and supporting survivors, OSS broadens that mission by addressing the cultures and environments where vulnerability often goes unnoticed. Together, we are working to create professional spaces where harassment, discrimination, and bias are no longer tolerated, and where everyone has the opportunity to be protected, respected, and empowered.

Our Mission

Operation Safe Spaces focuses on changing culture. We support the legal and legal tech communities in promoting safety and equity, not only at work but also at conferences, meetings, and beyond. We do this by:

  • Producing Educational Events: OSS curates programming that raises awareness and deepens understanding around workplace respect, harassment prevention, and inclusive practices.
    We partner with leading voices and organizations to bring expert-led sessions, panels, and activations to the forefront of legal and tech-focused events.
  • Collaborating with Industry Conferences: OSS actively partners with event organizers to share best practices, support community standards, and ensure safety and respect are part of the agenda. Our work has touched flagship events, including Legalweek (ALM), ILTACON (ILTA), Relativity Fest (Relativity), and more.
  • Leading with Community: OSS is guided by a dedicated, volunteer-driven committee committed to action, strategy, and long-term change.
    We meet regularly to align on outreach, partnerships, and next steps for expanding our impact.

How You Can Support

We can’t accomplish this without our community. Whether you’re a legal professional, event organizer, ally, or advocate, there’s a role for you in this movement.
