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

In this episode, hosts Mark and Pepe talk with legal operations veterans Colin McCarthy and Anne Graue about launching OLC, a new global legal‑operations community. They discuss their complementary backgrounds—Colin’s experience building the Legal Operators community in the U.S. and Anne’s in‑house work across European firms—and how they identified a gap in Europe for standardized legal‑ops training and certification. The duo outlines plans for a certification program, a flagship two‑day event, and a broader network aimed at upskilling legal‑adjacent professionals, while also exploring how AI will reshape in‑house legal teams and the demand for new skill sets.
