LEGAL OPERATIONS: the most in-demand position in legal. But what is it? And how can paralegals transfer into this world? We chatted with three legal pros who've become forces to reckon with in the field of operations.

Hear from Carl Morrison, Director of Legal Ops  @ MGM Sports International, Deisha Vazquez, Director of Legal Ops @ Benevis, and Tom Stephenson, Director of Legal Ops  @ Credit Karma as they show us what exactly legal ops is, its unique value-add, and how they made the career transition themselves.

The Path From Paralegal to Legal Operations

AI is no longer experimental for legal teams; it is quietly reshaping how high‑performing departments deliver advice, manage risk, and prove value to the business. This session is a candid, practitioner‑level look inside the legal teams at Google, Reddit, and Zapier, focused on what they are actually doing with AI today.

Each speaker will run a structured show‑and‑tell of their AI workflows: how they scoped the use case, what the stack looks like (models, agents, automations), how they stress‑tested it, and what success looked like. You will see both the upside and the constraints.

Why attend

If you are a legal leader who has seen enough surface‑level panels, this session is built for you.
Expect to:

See concrete examples of AI in production, including

▪  How an in house team built and governs an internal legal chatbot or agent.

Hear how these teams

▪  Decide which matters must stay bespoke and which can safely be standardized.
▪  Design “lawyer‑in‑the‑loop” review models that withstand scrutiny.

We’ll close with an unscripted Q&A where nothing is off the table: failures, reversals, vendor regrets, internal pushback, and what these leaders are betting against - as well as on - over the next 12 months.
