Law Squared appoints head of legal operations and innovations

Under this role, he will focus on reimagining the firm’s systems and workflows and building out its AI infrastructure to help shape what the next decade of legal service delivery looks like.

In a statement, the global law firm expressed how Vulkanovski’s appointment reflects a “deeper investment in legal operations and AI as core business enablers”, rather than treating them as “peripheral IT adoption or back-office support”.

Before joining Law Squared, Vulkanovski worked across private practice, consulting, and in-house legal roles, including at Gilbert + Tobin, KPMG, Remote, and Johnson & Johnson.

Across these roles, the firm noted he has “designed, built and deployed systems” that enable legal teams to operate at scale.

Speaking about his innovation-focused role, Vulkanovski shared that the profession is only seeing part of the equation, noting that while AI reshapes billing, the bigger shift is how legal work and value itself change.

“The profession is only focused on part of the equation,” Vulkanovski said.

“It’s not just about what happens to billing when AI makes lawyers faster; it’s also about how the work itself changes and where lawyers add value. My focus is on building the systems to enable that shift, without sacrificing our human-centred ethos.”

Law Squared has also continued to expand its legal teams, recently hiring across corporate and disputes and litigation practices, including Georgina Parisis, Melanie Skinner, and Catherine Marangos, as well as several paralegals.

Claire Sundin, the CEO of Law Squared, expressed that the firm’s talent attraction comes down to how the firm works, with lawyers opting for careers where value is measured by the quality of their thinking, not hours billed.

“Our ability to attract talent comes down to the way we work,” Sundin said.

“Lawyers aren’t just opting out of timesheets, they’re opting into a different kind of career, where their value is measured by the quality of their thinking, not the volume of their hours.”
