Reviews
LPM helps the modern lawyer become equipped for the changing world of legal practice. This book offers a wealth of practical guidance and inspiration.
,
As a professor of law and trainer in legal project management (LPM), I can affirm there is no text dealing with LPM on par with Next Stage Legal Project Management: Future-proof Your Matter Management. It is the required text in my law school courses at Vanderbilt Law School and provided to each person I train in the skills and techniques of this vital legal service. In over ten years of working to deploy LPM in law firms, legal departments and law schools, the time for LPM has come and this book will show how it will be done to benefit clients and the lawyers who serve them.

The book reflects the immense progress of LPM in recent years, with a clear structure and a focus on both ageless topics of methodology and implementation as well as important issues of the day – new professional skills, communication, digitization. The consulting editor and the publishing house have succeeded in creating a consistent piece of art, a milestone in the development of legal project management.

Next Stage Legal Project Management (LPM) is a very detailed and thought-out book on LPM. It is a great read for anyone who is not just in the business of LPM but is associated with the legal industry in any way. As someone who has always loved the business of law, this book has everything and more that I have learnt over the years and as a process nerd, I love the detail around Agile and Waterfall methods and legal design.
