Legal Operations Management
Become a Certified Legal Operations Management Expert
In a dynamic business world and constantly changing regulatory environments, corporate lawyers need a vast skill set.
In addition to legal skills, modern lawyers need to develop a solid foundation relating to social interaction and communication, company business processes and organization project management.
