Description

A decade ago, most lawyers would have struggled to describe the responsibilities of a legal operations manager, let alone considered it a hot career path. Now an increasing number of law departments are hiring operations professionals and consider their operations teams as indispensable. Many of the professionals in legal operations started out as attorneys or eDiscovery professionals.

In this session, you will hear from corporate counsels and eDiscovery professionals on how they have successfully transitioned into the legal ops roles by utilizing their experience in eDiscovery and law. Whether you are new to legal operations or a season veterans this session will provide tips and tricks on strategic planning and areas where you as a legal ops professional can make the most impact.

This program was recorded as part of ALM's Legalweek Conference on January 29th, 2019.
