We're looking forward to connecting with the legaltech community at ALM | Law.com Legalweek 2024 from January 29 – February 1, 2024 in New York City. Legalweek is one week where thousands of legal professionals gather to network with their peers, dive deeper into their professional development, explore topics and strategies tailored specifically to their role, and gain the tools to get legal business done.
More and more, in-house teams are running legal like a business and alongside this mindset shift, traditional legal department career paths are also evolving. Legal operations professionals and Legal Chiefs of Staff are at the vanguard of this evolution, driving legal department operations forward.
Join Priori VP of Client Development Matt Wheatley for an in-depth discussion with two legal department leaders and learn about their experiences in Legal Chief of Staff roles at their organizations. Stacy Lettie, Chief of Staff to the General Counsel, Organon, and Carol Hopperton, Legal Chief of Staff, Vonage, will discuss:
Their career paths and how they landed the Legal Chief of Staff role
What Legal Chiefs of Staff do and how that compares to the responsibilities of Heads of Legal Operations
The background and skill set a Legal Chief of Staff should possess
Strategies and resources for legal operations professionals interested in making the jump to Legal Chief of Staff
Empower your legal team to make better outside counsel hiring decisions with three new Priori features: RFP, reviews and scorecarding. Join Matt Wheatley, VP of Client Development for a 30-minute live demo of these new features, which are free to new and current Priori users for the first six months.
This webinar will share the findings from an upcoming white paper produced by CLOC and Priori, as well as feature discussion with some of the legal operations professionals who participated in the white paper. You’ll learn about trends in how legal departments of all sizes are approaching legal spend and gain insights into their decision-making processes.
Topics to be covered include a framework for prioritizing legal spend projects, key considerations for analyzing legal spend (such as internal resources and work assessment, legal technology and outside counsel and other external resources), and how departments consider these factors and make decisions that optimize spend.

We're looking forward to connecting with the legal ops community to gain invaluable knowledge, discover innovative solutions, and share the passion for excellence in legal operations.
