The Expanding Influence of Legal Operations: New Report Focuses on AI, CLM, and Law Department Transformation
In collaboration with Cimplifi, I was fortunate to interview 50 legal operations professionals between Feb. 9, 2023, and March 3, 2023, to better understand how they are adapting to today's legal, business, and operations landscapes, including examining the effect of contract lifecycle management tools and the rise of analytics and artificial intelligence on their law departments.
The new report — The Expanding Influence of Legal Operations: An Inside Look at AI, CLM, and Law Department Transformation — revealed that the economy, technology, and practice preferences continue to influence a reconfiguration of the corporate legal department in a post-pandemic period. Operations leaders are, therefore, driving efficiencies, helping manage the growth of data, and harnessing the power of digital transformation to fuel business success while minimizing risk. They are also taking on greater roles and helping general counsel shape strategies that include embracing CLM, AI, and other tools to enhance the way their teams work.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, some tenants were able to negotiate termination agreements with their landlords.
