In the ACC CLO Report, 947 CLOs were surveyed about their biggest challenges, areas of emphasis, and initiatives for their legal departments for 2021 and beyond.
A major finding in the report was that legal departments are actively investing in their legal operations personnel, with increases in headcount in corporate legal departments year-over-year, and a 39% increase since 2015. Now, 61% of legal departments employ at least one legal operations professional, while 21% employ at least four.
