Description

Carl Morrison is the Director of Legal Operations at MGM Resorts International, based in Las Vegas. He began his legal career as a paralegal, working primarily in litigation support and legal project management. He progressed to management roles in which he lead teams of paralegals to efficiently deliver complex discovery and document review initiatives, eventually combining his existing skills with technology, analysis and strategic advice to move fully into legal operations. We covered many topics with Carl, including: * How he progressed from paralegal to director of legal operations * What specific challenges he encountered on his journey and how he handled them * The challenges that come with being a legal operations leader in a small legal team * As a sole legal operations resource, how he prioritises his time and effort * The impact of an organisational merger on a legal operations function * Observations on the legal operations market in the US compared to other parts of the world LINKS Carl Morrison on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlmorrison/ Carl's email: carl@dearlegalops.com
