\n\nHow can legal teams build the capability, confidence and operating discipline needed to keep pace with change?<\/b>

\n\nIn this episode of In-House Matters by Lawcadia<\/i>, we hear from Petra Stirling, Regional Co-Chair of CLOC Australia, ahead of the CLOC Australia Summit<\/a> in Sydney on 5 August 2026.\n

\nDrawing on more than 20 years across legal technology, transformation and in-house legal operations, Petra shares why legal operations has become a strategic capability for modern legal teams. She explains how legal operations helps teams assess technology, cut through AI hype, strengthen operating discipline and support lawyers to focus on higher-value work.\n

\nThis conversation explores the capabilities legal teams need to build for the future, including digital confidence, curiosity and a practical understanding of emerging technology. Petra also discusses why legal teams need to reduce perfectionism when testing new tools and approaches, while maintaining strong standards in the delivery of legal advice.\n

\nThe episode also examines how legal operations is bringing in-house teams, law firms and legal technology providers closer together through stronger partnerships, co-design and more effective value delivery.\n

\nThis practical episode covers:\n
\n
    \n
  • Why legal operations has become central to modern in-house legal teams<\/li>\n
  • How legal operations helps teams assess, adopt and maximise the value of new technologyy<\/li>\n

  • How legal operations is reshaping relationships across the legal services ecosystem<\/li>\n
  • What legal professionals can expect from the CLOC Australia Summit<\/li>\n \n<\/ul>\n\nPetra also shares what \u201cStronger by Design\u201d means to her and why the CLOC Australia community provides a valuable forum for practical learning, peer connection and new ideas.\n
