CLOC Talk Corporate Legal Operations Consortium

Welcome, to this special episode of CLOC Talk, recorded live from the main stage at CGI 2024 in Las Vegas. Host Jenn McCarron had an incredible panel discussion with our closing keynote speaker, Andrew Perlman, Dean of the Suffolk University School of Law, Wendy Butler Curtis, Chief Innovation Officer at Orrick, and Alison Silver, the Global Head of Strategic Operations at Zoom.
We dive into Legal Ops 3.0, or what Jenn is calling this new incarnation of legal operations roles, and how (and where)  they should impact the business.
We also discuss how technology is being integrated into legal practices and the critical role creativity and adaptability play in driving innovation.
Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to the world of legal ops, this conversation is sure to inspire a few forward-thinking strategies.
Enjoy!!

Today on CLOC Talk, Jenn is joined by Harvard Law School faculty member, Professor David Wilkins.
Professor Wilkins identifies the current period as pivotal for the legal profession, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, technological innovations such as AI, and significant demographic shifts, in a world he describes as VUCA, volatile, uncertain, complex, and amorphous.
The two thought leaders also talk about the future of legal ops, where he sees a shift towards creating new value metrics and leveraging technology to address complex, adaptive challenges in an ever-evolving, volatile world.
A special thank you to the Harvard Law School Center on the Legal Profession and Jerry Ting, CEO at Evisort, who welcomed me as a speaker during their Executive Innovation Summit last month in Cambridge.
Enjoy!
