Nurturing the next Generation

It has now been around five months since we launched Legal Ops Career as a careers-focused offshoot of The Legal Technologist. To be honest it has been quite the adventure – we had big dreams (and still have) but with any large project you need to take one step at a time and don’t bite off more than you can chew as they say!

So we’ve now decided to focus on three key areas for 2024:

  • Building up our mentoring programme
  • Building our Circle community
  • Curating the latest relevant legal ops jobs (primarily in the UK)

Mentoring Programme

To find out more about mentoring programme feel free to look at this guide here. In a nutshell though, we are looking to pair up those looking to break into legal ops, those that are looking to move to senior roles and those that are looking to crack the exec level. For 2024 we have an ambitious target of 25 pairings and we are making great progress in getting there.

We have plenty of great mentors ready and willing to nurture the next generation of legal ops. Becoming a mentee is a membership benefit so feel free to become a member here. It is very worth it though as the guidance and advice from the mentoring relationship allows you to break into legal ops or progress in your careers.

Our Circle Community

We are using Circle as our community platform. The aim of the platform is to allow people in the legal ops space to network, ask questions to their peers and knowledge share. This is a restricted community and it is only for those that are members or who have been specifically invited. Why so exclusive? Careers is a very personal thing – and we are keen to have a space protected from selling that allows people to be open and ask the questions that matter to them. Continuous improvement isn’t just about the businesses we serve, but also about us as people too.

As mentioned you’ll need to be a member to join the community – see here for options on membership.

Jobs

We will also be regularly adding job offers so you don’t need to search for them elsewhere. Primarily focusing on the UK (but also including some US and Australia jobs), we will curate legal ops jobs that are from law firms, in-house or consultancies. We won’t add ones that are from recruitment agencies (unless particularly interesting) so all the jobs will be direct from employers.

We look forward to you joining us and being part of our community!
