Registration Fee applicable.
The essence of legal project management (LPM) lies in planning and managing your matters to achieve the client’s and firm’s goals for efficiency, cost-effectiveness and predictability.
In light of the accelerated changes in the wake of the pandemic, now is the perfect time to focus on it. Having a sufficient LPM team of professionals or training your lawyers and staff is essential for the protection of your firm’s profit margins.
Of course, successful lawyers have always done some form of LPM. It was how they anticipated costs, risks and scheduling, as well as managed the seemingly elusive billable hour. But the best systems are repeatable and documented, and these ad hoc managerial methods existed only between the ears of the partner-in-charge.
LPM just makes good financial sense.
Lawyers and other legal professionals are focusing on LPM for the following reasons:
- An increasing number of clients are pushing for fee estimates, scoping of work and greater efficiencies in the handling of their work;
- Better use of LPM techniques can minimize the significant write-offs and write-downs currently common in law firms;
- Enhanced LPM can lead to opportunities to win more RFPs;
- A growing number of clients are asking for trained legal project managers on their matters; and
- Application of LPM approaches create greater internal teamwork, enhance lawyer and staff morale/retention and improve client relationships.
Many expect that project management will become an essential skill for lawyers and other legal professionals, much like it is used in other leading professional services firms and consultancies. It can help ensure greater client satisfaction, more profitable matters and more satisfying work.
How can law firms ensure that they are delivering value? Through better systems and processes. The processes that underpin systemic LPM ensure consistency and replicability, the two things that virtually guarantee, not just efficient client service, but better profitability for the firm, as well. If the right processes are part of your LPM, you have the recipe for solid success.
Which is why it’s so important to make sure that everyone is on board.
The Law Society of Singapore has partnered with LawVision LLC to extend the following 2 LPM programmes.
- LPMAware™
- LPMLaunchPad™
LPMAware™ introduces the essential elements of LPM, providing legal professionals with a better understanding of how to integrate project management principles, skills, processes and behaviours into their management of legal matters on a day-to-day basis. The program provides an introduction to project management terminology and approaches used in the legal industry, giving professional staff the tools to communicate in a language that clients use in their businesses. It is designed around the key elements of LPM, not around a specific LPM framework. As such, it can be incorporated into any framework, whether your organization has one or not. It is intended to give all learners a baseline understanding of the key elements of legal project management. At the end of the program, you will receive a Certificate of Completion.
LPMAware™ Learning outcomes:
- Introduction to the essential elements of LPM
- Enhanced understanding of how to integrate project management principles, skills, processes and behaviors into the management of legal matters
- Greater awareness of LPM terminology and approaches
LPMLaunchPad™ provides a simple, yet powerful framework for applying LPM techniques and approaches to your legal matters immediately and building more effective budgets. You learn using a case study based on actual legal matters.
Applicable for 3 Private CPD points
LPMLaunchPad™ provides:
- An understanding of all of the key legal project management concepts and how to talk to your clients credibly about them;
- Examples of how legal departments and law firms are implementing LPM for different types of practice areas;
- A skills-based approach to learning the fundamental LPM techniques such as stakeholder analysis, scoping of work, project plans and budgets, managing scope changes and conducting end-of-matter debriefs;
The primary elements of the programme include:
- Upfront discussion of client’s objectives/expectations – including ensuring the firm and client are on the “same page” and that all members of the legal team understand these;
- Understanding the key decision-makers in the client who can affect the legal outcomes and success of a matter;
- Detailed “scoping” of work
- Breaking down the work into component parts to develop more accurate budgets and to be able to manage the work and the legal team efficiently and effectively;
