These innovative ideas and solutions truly impact our ability to serve clients in new and meaningful ways,” said Mike Haven, President of CLOC’s Board. “We created the LIO Project to recognize outstanding work and showcase the value of investments made in legal operations. It also offers another valuable learning channel to help professionals and organizations across the legal community advance their own projects and solutions.”
