I spoke with Sandra Aldi, the Chief Marketing Officer at Neota Logic, Michael Powers, the Global Director of Product Marketing at iManage, and Thomas Suh, the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer for LegalMation. The three companies are part of a consortium that supported a newly released report called: Legal Operations at a Crossroads – Understanding How Corporate Legal Teams are Driving Innovation and Navigating Digital Transformation in Unique Ways, featuring the perspectives of 30 legal operations leaders from various companies.
