“You don’t have to be a lawyer to succeed in legal ops, but you have to be able to understand lawyers and understand the process.”
“Getting the data has to be your first goal – then you can start working on the processes and optimizing them.”
“I see service providers as an extension of the legal department. To get the most out of it, you need a clear understanding of your workloads and a robust triage system in place.”
“I believe that there are many opportunities for legal teams to ‘de-lawyer’ work in order to avoid doing ‘fake work’. In this way, they can free up time for complex, strategic and mission-critical work.”
“I think that legal operations is actually developing into a separate career altogether, away from a rotation. As long as you have a diverse skillset and an appetite for learning, you can excel in legal ops.”
Kalexius CEO Nicolas Leroux spoke to Ari Kaplan last week about finding the right resources for the right job thanks to ALSPs.
