Every year, CLOC Global Institute is an occasion for celebration – of the growth and advancement of the legal operations profession, and of the innovations that are helping propel that growth.

So, no wonder it’s held in a place that’s made itself synonymous with good times, Las Vegas.

But what happens in Vegas at CGI doesn’t stay in Vegas, at least not when it comes to the best practices, real-world expertise and technologies shared during the event. Every year, attendees walk away with new learnings and solutions helping them make legal ops a more important contributor to the success of their organizations.

CLOC Global Institute 2024 is no exception. That’s why we’ll be there. Below, we’re spotlighting some of the sessions from the full agenda where we think attendees will find real value and insight if they’re looking to make the most of the new tools and techniques that are impacting the future of legal ops.

“Outtakes From Outside Counsel Management: Go Behind the Scenes With UBS’s John Burke”

When you’ve got to source outside counsel, which of your firms is going to be up to the task? This session on the Solution Lab track promises to give a behind-the-scenes peek into how a real-world legal operations team decides on who gets an assignment, presented by John Burke, Global Head of Outside Counsel Management for UBS – somebody who knows a thing or two on the topic. 

He’ll be joined by panelists from PERSUIT, a SaaS provider specializing in legal RFP technology. They’ll explore the strategies and data that go into making a choice among outside counsel, what to tell the winners (and the losers), and how in-house lawyers really feel about competitively sourcing outside firms.
