Legal Project Management: A Better Way for Lawyers and Clients to Work Together

When project management principles are imposed upon the practice of law, you get Legal Project Management.  Legal Project Management is the discipline of managing resources to bring about the successful completion of the specific goals of a legal case, while honoring the constraints of the matter.  Legal Project Management (“LPM”) is a better way for lawyers and clients to work together, as compared with the vast dynamic that exists between attorneys and their clients today. In this course, Michelle Maratto and Meredith Grasso will explain how to incorporate LPM into your practice, why it's beneficial, and what you can expect to see with client communications.
