Day 1 reflections CLOC (Corporate Legal Operations Consortium) Legal Ops as a role, what are different regions doing? USA, APAC and EMEA are all doing it differently. Full time dedicated, hybrid and even volunteer within your current role! What will it look like in 2030? Many opinions and even some say it won’t be a role for legal it will be a business role! Great start! Hearing from Mick Sheehy Caryn Sandler and Jenn McCarron Meeting old friends at drinks and making new! I met my first colleague friend from Litera Helen Y. So grateful for new colleagues 🙏 Day 2 starting off with a great gathering that we FileTrail sponsored for She Breaks the Law Priya Lele
