Legal Operations

Hiring legal operations professionals is kind of a big deal for many legal teams. It means youre looking to optimize outdated processes, streamline operations, and increase efficiencies within your department and with teams across your organization.

Required

A key differentiator of a legal operations professional is their business management experience. Unlike other roles within the legal department, a law degree is not required to be successful. Instead, legal operations jobs require people who are:

Business-minded. This role will heavily influence operations and efficiency, as well as how the legal department interacts with vendors and other departments within your organization. You want someone with the business chops to not only shield the company from risk but also ensure the legal departments goals feed into overall company growth.

Strategic. Legal operations professionals need to be strategic partners to general counsel. This should be someone who will help design a strategic roadmap that addresses process changes, technology adoption, and internal/external collaboration. Strategic thinkers should see the bigger picture and be capable of planning how the legal department will continuously evolve.

Data-driven. The best strategy is driven by data, making it essential for any potential legal operations candidate to be comfortable diving into the numbers. Legal operations functions also work in-step with finance to prepare month- and year-end budgets, provide accrual data, and ensure compliance with financial requirements and SOX, so data analysis is a must-have characteristic.

If you arent sure how to hire for legal operations jobs, dont worry. Below are some sample job descriptions to help you understand the type of candidates to recruit and what to look for in their work.
