Creating the tech foundations for Legal Project Management at scale
Welcome to the second installment in our LPM at scale blog series. Having dived into the type of matters which should be eligible for LPM, this week we will be looking at one of the more challenging aspects. The data and technology which can support LPM.
Because this series is designed to be a practical guide, we will be beginning with tips that even the smallest law firms can benefit from. We’ll be touching on Gartner’s PACE Layered Application strategy and how it can support the different steps towards firm-wide LPM. Finally, we’ll be offering some unique perspectives on data streams and how their insights can support greater LPM adoption. Continue reading

Welcome to the first instalment in our practical guide to legal project management for law firms. As discussed in our introductory blog, this series will go beyond exploring why firms should be investing in LPM, and instead look at how to implement and scale it. For those who have yet to implement any LPM, we highly recommend our first e-book which contains everything firms need to get started. Continue reading
Legal project management at scale: A practical blog series to guide law firms towards predictable matters
It has been over a decade since the term “Legal Project Management” began to crop up in job adverts, at legal conferences, and on Request for Proposals. Since then, legal project management has grown in answer to the myriad of challenges facing modern legal teams. A combination of increasing transparency towards clients (and all the reporting that goes with it), in addition to a move away from the billable hour, necessitates a lot more oversight. Particularly in a climate where businesses are increasingly moving work in-house. Continue reading
How to bridge the gap between small and big data
Using data in decision-making is as much about evaluation and sharing, as it is about collection. As anyone who has spent more than five minutes in front of a spreadsheet will tell you, numbers on their own are not exciting. We need graphs, charts and stories about what the data shows to change opinions or inform strategy. At Clocktimizer, the core of what we do is supporting firms in the journey from raw data, to insights and learning. For this very reason, we hosted a webinar on the art of data-driven storytelling.

Collaboration is key – Why your pricing and legal project management teams should be communicating
We hope that we have reached a stage where most law firms recognise the importance of legal project management and Pricing teams. There are no shortage of financial, client driven and efficiency reasons behind their rise in popularity. When successful they improve everything from a firm’s bottom line, to their client retention rates. However, for most firms, these teams operate independently. Pricing teams develop quotes, rates and budgets. Legal project management teams keep the work to that budget or rate, while also managing scope and operations. Continue reading
How to utilize technology for managing unpredictable matters
We have regularly written about, and heard from experts, on the importance of properly scoping a matter. Well scoped matters form the basis of a thorough fee structure. They also guide legal project managers in ensuring the right tasks are completed to the right standard. In short, scoping reduces uncertainty.
However, it can be impossible to reduce uncertainty entirely. After all, who hasn’t had a matter throw up unexpected challenges along the way? It is estimated that the legal industry loses upwards of 25 billion USD to write-offs each year, indicating that a solution would be of considerable value to the legal industry. What many may be unaware of is that the solution already exists, is easy to implement, and is in regular use by the tech industry. Continue reading
Why data visualisations can reduce billing disputes
Most of us have headed to the supermarket, shoved a load of things in our trolley and then proceeded to the checkout, only to be shocked by the total bill. Often enough, a quick read over the receipt is sufficient to jog our memories. We realise that we did purchase scallops AND that rather fancy bottle of red wine. The evidence is clear and puts an end to our desire to demand the cashier justify this attempt at robbery…
So why do we think it would be any different when it comes to billing for law firms? Clients, like anyone, are much more willing to accept the total if they can see how it was reached. Which means data visualisation. Continue reading
