The Potent Placement的动态

I'm often asked for a sample job description for a head of legal operations, so I've worked with some friends from Fortune 100 companies to crowdsource and create this ideal one. Scoping and positioning this role for success is critical and not easy to do. This isn't meant to be perfect, but I hope you find this document to be a useful starting point for your organization to edit as appropriate. Note that this was drafted with a large corporate setting in mind, specifically for roles involving team management or future managerial responsibilities. #jobs #legaloperations #legalops #jobdescription

Don't wait for more legal ops jobs to pop-up; get ready now for when they do! When talking to legal professionals looking to break into legal ops, I frequently hear: - "Not many legal ops jobs around here."? - "No legal ops job market in my region." Some even consider relocating to get a legal ops role, while others settle for a job they don't love. Before landing my first legal ops job, I had never seen a posting for one.?This opportunity was in a different province, and despite my former employer's preference for hybrid work, I applied. The job had been open for over five months. I knew I had a better chance of securing the job than they did of finding the right candidate. As a result, I got the job. Fully remote. It took us 15 days to seal the deal. Before my next legal ops job, there weren't many listings either. I still applied to a few to test the waters. I knew I had a good chance of advancing to a higher role, so I needed to be patient. When the opportunity came, I was ready enough to know that it's the best one. It took us 21 days to seal the deal. Just because there aren't many legal ops opportunities available around you doesn't mean you can't pursue that career path. If this scenario sounds familiar to you, I opened 5 new discovery calls to discuss how you can secure a legal ops job in a challenging market.

How to spot Red Flags?????? in Legal Ops job posts Legal Ops is an exciting, fast evolving field filled with promising careers. Sadly, not everyone looking to hire fully understands the role. If you are looking to make a move, here are a few things that can help you filter out jobs that probably aren’t setting you up for success: ?? Strategy ?? is missing: A legal ops professional *needs* to think strategically. If the post doesn’t highlight or at least imply that the role will impact the organization’s strategy, present or future, it’s likely that the company doesn’t value the strategic impact a legal ops professional can bring. Steer clear. Lack of Understanding of Verticals:??? A robust legal ops role involves managing outside counsel and legal spend, Contract Lifecycle Management (CLMs), legal technology, and data hygiene. If these elements are missing, the role might be undervalued or misunderstood. Administrative Overload:???? Be cautious if there’s a lot of overlap with administrative tasks. Legal ops isn’t just about paperwork; it’s about optimizing processes and enhancing efficiency. While some administrative work is inevitable, a legal ops role should primarily focus on strategic improvements, not clerical duties. If the job post is indicative of these 3 factors, it might be a warning sign that the organization doesn’t have a clear understanding of the Legal Ops role. You need to ensure that your next move aligns with your skills and ambitions. Don’t settle for less than what you’re worth.?? #LegalOps #CareerGrowth #JobSearch #StrategicThinking #LegalTechnology #LegalAI #Efficiency #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerAdvice #CareerGoals

I spend a lot of time speaking with people who are looking to change legal ops roles. I encourage them to think about the following: ? Head of legal ops or not: Do you want to be the person running the function? I know people who stepped up into the role and enjoy it; I also know people who are happy to remain individual contributors in legal ops. ?? Originate or inherit legal ops: Do you want to be the company's first legal ops hire? Building a function from scratch can be exciting. It can also be a slog. To be sure, it's a different kind of challenge altogether. ?? Company/legal team size: Do you want to work in a small, medium, or large company (which usually maps to legal team size)? IMO there *is* a "right answer" for each individual based on experience. At this point you can say (for example), "I want to originate the legal ops function at a medium-sized company." Then it's a question of comparing offers against one another. My strong recommendation is to prioritize as follows: ?? Work for the best boss you can find. A great boss is what will ultimately get you the scope, comp, and title you want. ?? Scope is so important because, uh, it's what you'll actually be doing. Make sure it aligns with your ambition and interests. ?? Say it with me: Comp is more important than title. Comp is more important than title. Comp is more important than title. #legalops #legaltech #hiring #jobsearch

The in-house legal market is warming up! Over the past 12 months, we saw a slow down in hiring. But, it seems that the market is starting to gain strength. Talking with GCs at VCs, it sounds like their workload is picking up and we're seeing the knock on effect with hiring in the tech space. Businesses focusing on profitability have increased the sizes of their sales teams and the demand for commercial counsels is high. I'm hiring for a few roles currently that are worth mentioning: - Head of Commercial Law (Berlin) - Commercial Counsel (Berlin or remote) - Legal Counsel - Commercial, IP, IT, Privacy (Berlin) DM for more info. #Legal #LegalJobs #InHouseCounsel
