Learn how to use project management tools and techniques, enabling legal practitioners to better plan, budget, schedule and allocate resources to progress the work.
This includes identifying and managing its own risks, managing process issues effectively as they arise, and dealing with scope changes that often lead to increases in fees, profit and efficiency.
Why Choose Legal Project Management?
Embarking on a legal career is both a noble pursuit and a significant challenge. I began my career (post articles) as a solo practitioner at the age of 24, founding what evolved into a medium-sized law firm in Cape Town and Paarl, South Africa.
Before starting this journey, I worked as an in-house counsel and have served business clients throughout my career. I understand how the return on investment (ROI) of legal fees is measured across various industries. In today’s economic climate, legal counsel (both practising and in-house counsel) is constantly challenged to demonstrate relevance and value. Therefore, ROI and how we showcase it have become even more significant than ever before.
Today, almost two decades later, I proudly serve as the Managing Director of the firm, which has grown into a medium-sized law firm. I have built a professional reputation of the utmost integrity and respect among peers and clients and have been honoured with a number of awards and achievements.
I understand the challenges of transitioning from non-practising to practising law and building a high-performance and profitable legal practice or department. I also recognise the importance of personal balance for legal practitioners to achieve high performance. It is about working smarter, not harder. Our focus on legal project management, design, and process improvement strategies has driven our success in the legal industry.
