Building a Global Legal Operations Community With Anne Graue & Colin McCarthy

Episode Summary

Legal operations is growing fast, but there's no standardized pathway for professionals entering the field. That's the gap Colin S. McCarthy and Anne Graue are working to close with Our Legal Community (OLC). On this episode, Colin and Anne share why they created OLC—a global community focused on certification, knowledge sharing, and career growth for legal ops professionals. They pair newcomers with experienced coaches who've built legal ops programs from the ground up, creating the certification standards the industry has been missing. We also talked about AI's role in legal teams, the future of in-house legal departments, and what makes OLC different from other networking groups. If you're in legal ops or thinking about starting a legal ops function, this one's worth your time.
