LegalOps is emerging as a key concern for in-house lawyers, and could be a prime opportunity for law firms
Writing in this week’s NLJ, iManage RAVN global legal practice director Stephanie Vaughan notes that Legal Operations has, historically, not been the main focus of in-house legal departments and most don’t have bodies dedicated to this function. However, Vaughan writes, ‘a variety of factors―from an evolving risk landscape to the emergence of new forms of technology like AI―are conspiring to push it to the forefront’.
This means law firms have an opportunity to offer LegalOps-related services to in-house legal departments, strengthening their standing with clients as strategic partners and trusted advisors. Vaughan shares some advice and guidance here.
