Legal Ops and Legal Design with Karol Valencia and Elisa Marcelo from WOW Legal Experience

Legal Ops or legal operations is the application of business practices to optimize the management of a legal department within an organization. Legal ops allow legal teams to redesign and evolve workflows, deliver more value, and serve clients more efficiently and effectively. Legal design gives practitioners the road map to design legal ops solutions.

This week on Legal Design IRL, Karol Valencia and Elisa Marcelo from WOW Legal Experience joined me to discuss the intersection between legal ops and legal design and how they work together to humanize and transform legal services.

Elisa Marcelo is a Senior Legal Designer and Business Developer at WOW Legal Experience. WOW Legal Experience is a legal operations design agency on a mission to humanize and redesign the law and services for people. “We believe that everything is designed and the legal sector is no exception.”
