Overlay a disciplined methodology of LPM with human ingenuity and – voila – a much more effective way to engage legal teams and improve client service.
If you choose to start with legal project management (LPM), as many firms do, you’ll first need training or coaching. Our LPM coaching and training can help you transform how you deliver legal services. But we don’t stop there. Our methods include proactive strategies that help your firm win more work and deepen existing relationships.
Legal Project Management Training
We develop our live LPM training to suit your firm’s matters and objectives. We meet your team, whoever they are, wherever they need to begin. Senior lawyers, legal professionals, paralegals, at project inception, mid-course, or with no project at all. Our program teaches a simple, yet effective framework customized to your culture and the skill sets of your legal professionals.
In this training, lawyers and other legal professionals learn how to integrate project management principles, skills, processes and behaviors into their daily matter management. We use actual case studies so that participants cultivate practical and realistic problem-solving skills that prepare them for dynamic real-world challenges. The program is comprehensive and focused, yet adaptable to your law firm’s needs.
Law firms seeking to minimize write-offs and write-downs, manage lean teams, and enhance client satisfaction use LPM. Period.
Looking for an interactive learning experience? Our live workshop is designed to fit your schedule and learning preferences, available in both virtual and in-person formats. Through a combination of engaging instruction and hands-on exercises, you’ll gain the tools to apply proven project management principles to legal matters with confidence.
Do you require the flexibility of online training? We also offer LPM online in a rigorous on-demand, e-learning program. This course teaches the same tools and techniques as in the live program in a convenient, interactive, online format. We can also develop customized online training.
Legal Project Management Coaching
The benefits of on-the-job coaching are undeniable. The right coach can help legal professionals leverage the leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills they are cultivating while providing constructive feedback for continual improvement. Oftentimes, coaching is the clear solution when your LPM initiative is floundering. A coach can help your legal team determine which levers to pull to supercharge the initiative and start to see results, generating LPM success stories that encourage greater buy-in.
So, do you need training or coaching… and what’s the difference anyway? Some participants prefer working in a collaborative environment with a trainer and learning with participants internal or external to their firm. Others prefer to learn all or some parts of LPM individually or as part of a matter team through tailored coaching sessions where the tools and techniques are seamlessly incorporated. In many cases, LPM skills are greatly enhanced through a combination of both.
Of course, coaching means partnering with you and not doing it for you. The objective is to transfer knowledge continuously as the team evolves, becoming increasingly effective in the dynamic legal environment.
For those who have already obtained LPM certification, we also offer an advanced course. Coaching is an integral part of the advanced LPM certification course and is customized to meet your specific needs.
