Legal operations has been described [as an emerging professional guild](https://abovethelaw.com/2022/05/cloc-is-all-about-establishing-a-new-professional-guild-and-im-here-for-it/) — and one that’s rapidly gaining importance. 

To develop a portrait of the modern legal operations professional, we conducted a two part study in partnership with our friends at NetDocuments — surveying legal ops teams and reviewing the career histories of 185 individuals in the industry. 

Now, we’re exploring what the results tell us about legal operations in this companion webinar , featuring the top voices in this increasingly critical industry. 

Join us to learn:

- How to attract the best and brightest in legal operations to your team
- How the best legal operations teams are supporting their law departments
- How the profession may take shape amid emerging trends
