Action at the Front: the Evolving Face of Legal Project Management

In today's economically challenging legal landscape, clients of all types demand that law firms allocate resources more effectively and deliver services more efficiently. In response to these demands, Legal Project Management - "LPM" - is rapidly becoming essential for proactively managing cases, projects and engagements.  More than just a tool, LPM is a whole toolbox that can help lawyers use historical benchmarks and modern methods to plan realistic timelines, create manageable budgets, execute project plans skillfully and communicate with all essential client and law firm stakeholders.

Now that LPM has established a firm foothold, firms are grappling with how to introduce and roll out LPM initiatives, train lawyers and other performers in LPM tools and techniques, and figure out how to build LPM into their operations in the long run.

Edge International Partner Pam Woldow, recognized globally as a go-to expert in LPM planning and implementation, will discuss the basic precepts of LPM and then describe different approaches firms are trying, the pros and cons of each, and the practical lessons that their triumphs and tribulations are teaching.

 Webinar participants will learn:

  • Tactics for developing strong commitment and sponsorship from firm leadership.
  • How to target the LPM "value proposition" to ascendant partners likely to prove most instrumental in LPM adoption and wide-scale use.
  • The comparative advantages or challenges of full-immersion approaches versus more measured pilot programs.
  • The enormous power of involving clients in LPM training.
  • Techniques for translating the experience and wisdom of seasoned lawyers into practical knowledge management.

Who should attend?
Managing Partners, Chief Executive Officers, Practice Group Leaders, Partners
