The Corporate Legal Operations Consortium announced today that it would be opening up membership to service providers, tech companies, law schools and “everybody else.” Mary O’Carroll, president of CLOC, dropped the news during her keynote speech launching the organization’s first virtual Global Institute.

“It is time—past time—that they joined us at this table. People have been asking for this for years and so I’m thrilled to be able to welcome them here very soon,” she said.
