Legal Ops/Innovation Advice?
Question / Tech Stack Advice
Post
I'd love some advice from folks in this sub. I’m relatively early in my career and currently work in business analysis/operations at a law firm, where I’ve been involved with workflow improvement, SaaS rollouts, attorney onboarding/training, and process optimization projects. Before that, I worked in finance/investor operations. (I’m also not an attorney.)
Lately I’ve been thinking more seriously about my long-term career path and have become really interested in legal innovation/legal ops/legal tech roles, especially around AI enablement, implementation, and improving legal workflows.
For people already in this space:
* Does this background seem relevant for those types of roles?
* What skills would you focus on developing or emphasizing?
* Are there adjacent roles/titles I should also be looking into?
Trying to think through the best long-term path into legal innovation. Right now I think innovation/legal ops teams within law firms may be the direction that makes the most sense for my background, but I’d love to hear thoughts from people already working in the space.
