“Before taking the course, our team was facing the classic in house volume problem. The course provided us with new tools, and ways to think about our roles that allowed us to triage more effectively, while also energised us to set time aside to regularly review how we get work done. The content was easy to follow and discuss as a team, with very practical outputs to use at the end. I highly recommend the course to any organisation looking to understand how to think about legal operations, and how to work more effectively. It has been an invaluable investment for our team. ”
“What a great resource, wish I'd had it when I started in house!”
“This course has been so helpful for my career and knowledge in this space. It has been directly applicable to my work. It provides such a useful insight into Legal Operations, offers practical tips that save time, and the live Q&A sessions are helpful too. If you're a legal professional looking to level up, this course is a must.”
“It identified and articulated the challenges in house teams face in simple and easy to understand ways. It suggested useful and simple tools to address the issues. I thought it was great and really useful.”
“I thought the video quality and presentation was excellent and really sophisticated and I also really liked the two-sided perspectives, being both that of the internal business client and the inhouse legal team. This is really well personalised and also very slick in the presentation. I think it will have a lot of take up amongst the inhouse community.”
“I was really impressed. Some great content and I got a lot of out of it. ”
“Clear articulation of the issues. The cheat sheet to sum up the modules was also very useful.”
“Really good. Logical presentation & easy to follow.”
“These courses are amazing! I have recommended them to my friends who are in the same field as me or who are thinking of entering Legal Ops. The cheat sheets are helpful and the videos help because I am a visual learner. ”
“A fantastic resource full of practical tips. Excellent quality of recording and layout/format. Very easy to navigate the platform. Love the cheat sheet! Pace of the modules and speaking is great. Also, the length of each module part was very good and easy to digest and pause and come back to it later.”
