Live Webinar: The Legal Ops Career Journey

Date: Thursday, May 16
Time: 12:00 PM ET
Location: Zoom

Legal operations is a relatively new profession and because of that, there aren’t many well-worn career paths for legal operations professionals to follow. However, that lack of a tried-and-true career arc leaves a lot of room for legal ops pros to expand their careers and follow their passions within the industry.

Whether it’s fractional legal ops work, moving to legaltech, expanding to general business operations or going from in-house to a law firm, legal ops professionals have diverse options for advancing their careers. In this webinar, we talk to several legal operations professionals who have pursued some of those alternate career paths.

The panelists will discuss the potential that lies ahead for people in all stages of their legal ops journey. They’ll share their backgrounds with legal operations, what led them to explore these alternative paths and how their experiences in legal ops set them up for success in their new roles. And, most importantly, they’ll offer advice for legal ops pros interested in making a career change, including how to evaluate your options, networking opportunities and resources and more.
