Navigating Your Legal Operations Career Path Session 2: Intermediate (Sept. 17, 2024)

Recorded On: 09/17/2024

In today's dynamic legal landscape, the role of legal operations professionals has become increasingly vital. These professionals are value creators, tasked with enhancing efficiency, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of legal service delivery. Legal Operations pioneers and leaders possessed and continue to maintain a variety of competencies, skills and expertise, education, and backgrounds.

As the role of Legal Operations has gained recognition for its impact, a structured framework for career development is still lacking. This gap hinders the ability of legal operations professionals to advance their careers and achieve their full potential systematically.

Join ACC and our partners at Morae Consulting for a three-part webinar series to discuss our NEW career development toolkit for legal operations professionals. This toolkit, launching mid-September, lays out a framework for legal ops professionals to help identify the requisite skills, competencies, and milestones necessary for career progression. This three-part webinar series will cover varying experience levels in the field and the relevant skills, competencies, and career trajectories and opportunities for individuals at each maturity level.

As a dynamic Legal Operations Leader, I have a proven track record of success in designing, executing and overseeing strategic initiatives within corporate legal departments. My expertise lies in optimizing service delivery by implementing efficient systems, processes and tools, while fostering collaboration with Legal Department leadership. I excel in managing both internal and external resources, and serving as a liaison between Legal and internal cross-functional teams. My experience includes spearheading digital transformation efforts, ensuring the optimal utilization of technology to enhance corporate legal operations, and improving data integrity for enhanced analytical reporting capabilities.

Throughout my career, I have achieved notable accomplishments that have significantly contributed to the success of the organization I've been a part of:

1. Led the identification, planning and implementation of process improvements across various facets of the Legal Department. The enhancements span technology, finance, vendor relations, communications and daily operations, resulting in increased efficiency and effectiveness.

2. Fostered partnerships with external legal technology vendors and IT resources to enhance matter and spend management systems, legal hold processes and internal applications. This collaborative effort has driven significant improvements in operational efficiency and effectiveness.

3. Played an integral role in achieving certification for the Legal Department under Mansfield Rule 3.0, demonstrating a commitment to diversity and inclusion initiatives. Additionally, I spearheaded and implemented high-priority Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives within the Legal Department, furthering our commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace culture.

These accomplishments underscore my ability to drive positive change and deliver results in complex legal environments. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my expertise and leadership skills to a new organization and contribute to its success.
