Strengthening and expanding CLOC’s European community following the launch of CLOC Spain in 2024.
Frankfurt, Germany, 13 November, 2025 — CLOC (Corporate Legal Operations Consortium), the leading member-based association for legal operations professionals, announces the launch of CLOC Germany. This continues the expansion of CLOC’s European community after the launch of CLOC Spain in 2024.
Members in Germany have already been active participants at regional CLOC events, including the Europe Summit in London. The launch of CLOC Germany provides a clear local home for connection and shared learning, making it easier for professionals in Germany to meet, support one another, and build progress together.
CLOC welcomes the inaugural Regional Leaders:
“Germany’s legal operations community is growing fast and driving the shift toward data-driven, digitally enabled legal functions,” said Áine Lyons, CLOC President and Europe Lead. “With Spain joining last year and Germany now launching, our European network is stronger than ever. Together, we’re building an open space for progress, curiosity, and collaboration.”
“Legal operations in Germany is about combining legal excellence with digital fluency,” said Dr. Vera Rödel. “We’re focusing on AI-supported knowledge, clear processes, and agile governance. These approaches make innovation safe, scalable, and real. CLOC Germany gives us a place to learn in the open and make those ideas work.”
“Progress happens when we experiment, share what we learn, and support each other,” said Michael Thompson. “Legal operations connects legal, compliance, and business teams, and CLOC Germany helps us turn that collaboration into lasting change.”
The first CLOC Germany meeting is planned for February 11, in Frankfurt. The CLOC Europe Summit is returning to London in that same month, with the date to be announced.
