Dear Legal Ops

This week we get anonymously comfy with Lisa “Left Out of Legal Ops in a Law Firm” Eyed Lopez and warm up a saucer of milk with Eartha “Knowledge Management” Kitt. We’ll dig deeper into the disconnect between law firms and corporate in-house legal teams when it comes to legal operations and let the cat out of the bag on the 3 main categories of knowledge management often seen for in-house legal teams. By working more collaboratively, law firms and in-house teams can share knowledge and expertise and adopt a client-centered approach to legal service delivery…allowing legal operations leaders to have more than 9 lives.

This week we’re getting anonymously comfy as we pull up to the pub, pour a pint of our favorite project management ale, and request Free Falling on the Jukebox. We’ll dig deeper into how to pick yourself up after a series of failures in the workplace and dive head first into the legal project management lagoon. We must continue having courageous conversations empowering us to learn from our mistakes, adapt to new situations, and keep growing and evolving. Learning from mistakes helps foster a culture of growth and collaboration that will help you thrive as you navigate your legal ops career journey. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes; embrace them as opportunities to help you reach your full leadership potential.

This week we’re pulling back the anonymous curtains and popping some prosecco with our favorite legal ops leaders, Carl Morrison, Sheena Ferrari, and Tommie Ferreira, courtesy of our sponsor Legal.io. On this special episode, our guests share personal stories focused on pushing past uncomfortable times and silencing that syndrome named an Imposter from Idaho who often tells us we’re not smart enough, talented enough, or deserving of the successes we’ve achieved. When times get tough as we navigate this winding legal operations road, remember that we will inevitably fall, make mistakes, or feel as though our growth has been stunted. And by sitting with that truth and rising above the challenges thrown our way, we can shine and flourish–personally and professionally.

This week we get anonymously comfy and concoct a CPRA cocktail in the confession booth with our mentor, the Prince of Privacy and Imperial Information Governance Guru. We’ll dig deeper into successful strategies in a new legal ops role and sing our favorite compliance carol courtesy of Carly Rae Compliance-Less. As we reflect on the past year and turn to the next chapter, we remember to care for ourselves by putting on our oxygen masks first before helping others. After all, we’ve got at least 99 legal ops problems in the new year, but CPRA isn’t one.

This week we’re getting anonymously comfy with a caffeinated cup of CLM coffee and drowning our diversity dilemmas in a Daiquiri with Debbie…and yes, she’s from Dallas.

As we remember those recently lost in Colorado Springs, remember that your voice is a powerful tool for the greater good.

When life catastrophically collides with reality, it's sometimes difficult to remember the importance of staying present and giving yourself gratitude.
