Our Approach

Law firms are increasingly training lawyers and staff on project management techniques in order to:

  • Deliver greater value to clients
  • Increase profitability
  • Reduce risk
  • Increase the predictability of fees and costs
  • Minimize or eliminate surprises
  • Reduce write-offs and write-downs
  • Improve communication with clients
  • Focus on clients’ true needs
  • Increase new business

The best way to train lawyers in legal project management varies from firm to firm, depending on each firm’s culture, clients and goals.

All of our training programs use the proprietary tools and templates in Jim Hassett’s Legal Project Management Quick Reference Guide and focus on behavior change.  We offer nine different programs:

2. Client/firm collaboration workshops
3. Certification

“Every time you run a matter for your firm, you are engaging in project management.  You can do it in an ad hoc haphazard manner, trying to put out fires as they arise.  Or you can use time-tested, proven tools to manage costs intelligently, to coordinate and organize people and tasks, and to head off surprises before they happen.” – Bruce MacEwen, President, Adam Smith Esq. (From The Future of Legal Services, p. 6) “

“To stay ahead of the curve, law firms should consider seizing the initiative by asking how they could deliver legal services in a more efficient, cost-effective manner… Firms now need to turn their attention to project management and strategies to manage their costs.” – Dan DiPietro, Chairman, The Law Firm Group at Citi Private Bank (From The Future of Legal Services, p. 90)

“My income is based on my firm’s ability to deliver on alternative fee arrangements.  Project management drives the cost of each matter.  It determines when we make money, and when we don’t, so it has become an absolutely critical topic for our firm.” – Patrick J. Lamb, Founder, Valorem Law Group
