Vijit S. Chahar, PhD, Esq.

Founder and Author at Legal AI Central

I am a New York-based attorney specializing in venture capital and business law.

I have worked in the US, India, The Netherlands, Germany and Italy as a transactional lawyer, Supreme Court litigator, capital markets regulator and UN researcher.

Background and Expertese

My interdisciplinary background includes PhDs in Law and Economics and some programming experience in C++. I am learning Python and AI development.

Through my work with AI startups and their founders, I’ve gained valuable insights into cutting-edge technologies and their applications. This combination of legal expertise and technical understanding allows me to translate complex AI capabilities into actionable strategies for attorneys.

The Legal AI Central Journey

My path to founding Legal AI Central began with systematic experimentation—implementing AI tools across my legal practice and discovering that AI not only improved efficiency but enabled entirely new capabilities.

AI makes legal work better, not just faster or cheaper.

I believe AI will revolutionize the legal profession, allowing lawyers to multiply their impact and increase access to legal services for the public.

Content Philosophy

I created this platform to fill a critical gap—while many resources focus on either technical aspects of AI or legal technology in general, few address the practical intersection of AI and law where working attorneys need guidance most.

At Legal AI Central, I focus on:

  • Uncovering new capabilities, not just increasing efficiency
  • Providing practical  guidance on practical implementation
  • Matching the right tools to specific legal tasks
  • Explaining technical concepts in straightforward language
