From global M&A transactions through to high profile litigation, clients have raised their expectations of legal service quality and consistency. At the same time they demand increased transparency and certainty over the pricing and billing of their matters. It is no surprise therefore that the last five years have seen a growing demand for project management by law firm clients as an important component of service delivery on large scale and complex matters.
Outside the legal profession project management is a mature discipline underpinned by many tools, processes and research that contribute to a wealth of best practice. However, the human dimensions of project management remain critical, and can both contribute to, and detract from, project success.
During this Breakfast Briefing we will examine and discuss the latest research, alongside practitioner insight, and then engage in a facilitated discussion about how this can be applied to the legal sector and legal projects specifically.
