LOCP
The CLOC Legal Operations Certified Professional (LOCP) is for experienced legal operations professionals. The exam will measure the judgment you’ve built in practice. The first candidates sit for it in May 2027.
CLOC’s move from a certificate to a certification reflects the maturation of the legal operations profession. A certificate can demonstrate participation in or completion of an educational program. Certification goes a step further: it establishes a defined professional standard and provides a way for individuals to demonstrate that they meet that standard through a formal validation process. The LOCP will tell GCs, boards, and other legal operations leaders that your judgment has been tested and holds up. This is what it means to be certified in legal operations, a signal of where you stand in the field.
