The Summit for In-House
Leaders who Get Stuff Done.

Grab a cup of coffee (on us!) and kick off the day with a face-to-face conversation with like-minded professionals in your “birds of a feather” group. There are plenty to pick from whether it’s the “people, process, and technology” group, the “I remember building my first network server, for a local BBS ran out of my parent’s house in 1993” group, or the “dog lovers of eDiscovery” group.

The mandate to “do more with less” is nothing new. But in this climate of belt-tightening, hiring pauses and budget freezes, it’s more difficult than ever to stretch your dollars, resources, and people. Not to worry. In this session, legal ops leaders share guidance for innovative problem solving that will set you up for success in the “new normal.” Topics include creative ways to find budget (including budget from other departments), how to effectively shed inessential resources, and striking the right balance between internal and external resource allocation.

Led by Ryan Black, Head of Legal Ops at Opendoor
