Download the 10th Anniversary Report 

Since 2008, the Annual Law Department Operations Survey, published by Blickstein Group in collaboration with Consilio, has been the definitive resource for benchmarking and building understanding around the emerging profession. This year, we celebrate our 10th Anniversary with this Special Report, designed to look back at the past 10 years in order to understand the enormous growth of the legal operations function and its future.

It’s truly shocking how much the legal ops function has grown. Back when this survey was launched in 2008, there were few people in the role, mostly highly paid and with advanced degrees. Since then, while the legal ops function has clearly become important to many more law departments, the role of LDO professionals themselves has become both bigger and smaller.
