Lean into LegalOps – 2021 Overview
Building Community to Learn and Collaborate
When the world went virtual in March 2020, Onit reacted by moving our community building and thought leadership efforts online. With the introduction of the Lean Into LegalOps program, Onit provided customers and other members of the legal community with a forum to share and learn from one another. We hosted webinars, debates and weekly catch-up calls.
As we move into 2021, Onit is expanding Lean Into LegalOps to include even more members of the legal community and provide even more diverse content. We’ll partner with different industry thought leaders and associations to consolidate the very best content in the legal sphere in one place. Becoming a member of Lean Into LegalOps is all you need to do to get updates and access to this great content! Simply fill out the form on this page to join.
Upcoming opportunities are listed below. As more content is added, members will be alerted in the bi-weekly email update.

Session Panelists: Session Moderator: Benchmarking Legal Tech Investment Webinar | September 22 Please join us for a conversation with Aine Lyons of VMware about the critical role data has played in their legal tech journey.

How to maximize ROI from technology projects, along with important industry trends will also be covered. Speakers: Drive Legal Innovation One App at a Time Over the past decade, our customers, certified App builders and trusted partners – Speakers: The Power Of AI + Human Expertise In Managing Legal Spend A discussion with Chubb and Sterling Analytics Often, the value and savings from legal e-billing are undermined by the time-consuming review process. A solution that many have turned to is 3rd party bill review in combination with an AI-powered Enterprise Legal Management System. This approach puts two experts in the loop, removes the burden of invoice review from your internal staff, and generates numerous tangential benefits, including: Learn from Chubb’s firsthand experience about the many benefits for your own organization. Chubb manages one of the largest books of outside counsel spend in the world and sees amazing results in how they manage it. Speakers: To AI or not to AI? The Big Debate Part II with Consilio and Buying Legal Council Whether it’s reviewing invoices or repapering contracts, there are many tasks that are dreaded but must be done. So, do you bring in AI to relieve some of that burden? Or is the risk of inaccuracies or strain of implementation too great? Join us for another Big Debate to examine both sides of that question. The challenge: There is no budget for additional headcount this year despite the fact that your legal department is faced with the daunting task of repapering a massive number of contracts due to LIBOR, data privacy and other regulatory changes. Not to mention, you still have mounds of legal invoices to review. At the same time, strategic and risk management demands are higher than ever. The GC has asked you to present a solution. Two teams will make their case for different ways forward.
