Legal Manager - What is Legal Operations?

Q: What is Legal Operations?

Legal Operations (or legal ops) is a discipline that effectively combines business processes, human expertise and innovative technologies to help legal departments run more efficiently and make better decisions . It enables Legal to focus on providing its advisory role and therefore deliver more strategic value to the enterprise.

Why Legal Operations?

As companies grow and expand today, departmental and organizational obstacles are becoming painfully clear. Traditional workflows and a lack of automation increase risk, make business processes unpredictable and slow down progress.

Legal ops provides an innovative answer to these problems of efficiency, cost-effectiveness and transparency. It is a discipline that teaches people to specialize in management, planning and to get the most out of data driven technology.
