June 2026: All Ops

For June 2026, I want to focus my substantive LinkedIn posts on one thing: Legal Ops.

Legal operations (“legal ops”) is not a buzzword—it’s the engine behind modern legal teams and how in-house legal departments actually get things done.

At its core, legal ops is about transformation, strategy, leadership, and change management.

It’s the work of designing systems, not just doing tasks.

Legal ops covers everything from project management and budgeting to knowledge management, information governance, and service delivery models.

The goal?

To make legal work more intentional, scalable, and sustainable—so lawyers can focus on the highest-value work and teams can actually thrive.

This core of legal ops is what draws me to it. Building an intentional, scalable, and sustainable litigation practice is my goal, it is the focus of everything I'm doing this year.

And that is why I believe private practice attorneys (outside counsel) should care about legal ops.

Yes, our clients need us to care about legal ops and the professionals within legal ops are often the ones managing outside counsel, making them ripe for relationship building.

And even further: the same mindsets and principles can lead us to building teams and practices and books of businesses that also keep the future and modernity in mind, alongside efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability.

Legal ops, in 2026, moves beyond technology and toward mapping the work, clarifying roles, centralizing resources, and spotting future leaders.

It’s about building high-performing teams with trust, clarity, and growth at every level.

As a result legal ops, and legal ops mindsets, are changing and will continue to change the profession, for all of us.

Curious about how legal ops is changing the profession? Stay tuned this month as I share more about what I've learned so far (and hope to continue learning and applying in this space).
