The CLOC Global Institute: Some Changes And Challenges - Above the Law

"AI will reshape everything in legal, including and perhaps especially, the discipline known as legal operations (legal ops for short). It's the how that's the question. The upcoming preeminent legal ops conference will have its hands full tackling just that. And what to do about it."

"Legal ops, as most know, focuses on the business part of the legal practice by looking at things like improving how legal services are delivered by applying disciplines like process design, technology, data analytics, vendor management, and financial oversight to drive greater efficiency, predictability, and strategic value."

"According to CLOC's website, there will be over 2,100 attendees from across the legal ecosystem and over 25 countries. There are some 90 sessions and 200 speakers planned. There is typically a vendor hall with 100+ exhibitors. It's a big conference."

"This year's theme is "Stronger by Design," with a focus on how better design can create "stronger teams, smarter processes, and more connected organizations." The conference is moving across the country from its traditional Las Vegas venue to McCormick Convention Center in Chicago."

AI is expected to reshape legal work, including legal operations. The 11th Corporate Legal Operations Consortium (CLOC) Global Institute runs for four days in Chicago starting May 11 at McCormick Place. The conference addresses the impact of AI on legal operations and the future role of legal operations. Legal operations applies process design, technology, data analytics, vendor management, and financial oversight to improve efficiency, predictability, and strategic value. The event is CLOC’s largest annual gathering, with more than 2,100 attendees from over 25 countries, about 90 sessions, and 200 speakers, plus a vendor hall with 100+ exhibitors. The theme is “Stronger by Design,” emphasizing stronger teams, smarter processes, and more connected organizations.
