Who We Are

About ULO

UpLevel Ops is an Advisory Team of operators, advisors, and builders who help legal departments work with more rigor, better systems, and stronger business alignment.

People and Culture First

Vast experience, brought to clients in a human way

UpLevel Ops was founded by in-house Legal Operations veterans who wanted to build a firm with people and culture at its heart. That belief still shapes how we advise, collaborate, and execute.

What Clients Feel

High-touch, pragmatic, and outcome-focused

Clients come to UpLevel Ops for modern thinking, but stay because the work is practical. We help Legal move from idea to implementation with clarity, calm execution, and real operational depth.

Why This Team

A Legal Operations partner built by people who have done the work

Operator credibility

Our Advisory Team has led Legal Operations at organizations such as HP, Uber, Electronic Arts, Facebook, Dolby, VMware, and Flex, bringing firsthand experience to every engagement.

Industry-shaping leadership

The team includes leaders who helped shape CLOC, LINK, and the broader Legal Operations community, bringing both market perspective and practical implementation insight.

Practical execution

We do not stop at recommendations. We build roadmaps, implement workflows, support adoption, and help make operational change stick inside complex organizations.
