Mary Shen O’Carroll

Since becoming Google’s first Head of Legal Operations, Technology, and Strategy, Mary Shen O’Carroll has changed the way corporations think about legal. Mary is part of a new wave in corporate law, working with the nonprofit Corporate Legal Operations Consortium (CLOC) to provide guidance to other legal departments on how to manage legal work, both at Google and with outside counsel. In part because of Mary’s work, departments across the country are now innovating in the delivery of legal services and swapping ideas with other in-house lawyers about data analytics and efficiency.
