Overview

Why You Should Attend

Lawyers today face greater pressures than ever before to be efficient, handle matters effectively, and produce quality work product and service.  At the same time, they must utilize appropriate risk management practices and meet the ever-growing compliance requirements in many areas of law.  These expectations, along with the 24/7 service demand for most businesses, result in tremendous stresses on legal professionals to manage in a more organized and disciplined manner than in the past.  Legal project management tools and approaches can provide answers to deal with these pressures and actually relieve some of the stresses of managing matters effectively that are keeping you up at night.

Legal project management encompasses valuable approaches that can enable lawyers to meet or exceed client expectations and do so profitably while respecting cost reduction mandates.   This program will offer insights and techniques for legal project management that lawyers can implement in legal departments or private law practices.
