My route into legal services has been a slightly unusual one. I did not graduate from a legal program and spent the better part of my career as HR Immigration Manager at Boston Consulting Group (BCG). However, as a business studies graduate I have always worked adjacent to law, and when the chance to transition into an operations role came up I grabbed it.
In my previous role at BCG, I had worked closely with Antonia Peabody. In 2017 she launched what is now BCG’s legal strategy and operations group and it was always my intention to follow her. I had been tangentially working in the legal field, the issues thrown up by legal departments interested me a lot, and in my role as immigration manager I had started to work more and more on designing processes and building out strategy. That made the move to legal operations (legal ops) seem like a natural fit for me.
