Have you ever taken the time to decipher the legalese of a contract? How about a dozen? Every day lawyers are left trying to complete contracts without a standardised process, which raises the importance of efficient legal contract management.

I’ve spent most of my career deeply involved in technological and organizational transformations, working hand in hand with my clients through challenging transition times. Along the road, I’ve seen some projects succeed and achieve incredible results, while others have made no significant impact.

When you find yourself working 60-hour weeks with a towering pile of casework, it can seem impossible to achieve any form of work-life balance. In fact, a 2017 survey by The Bar Council revealed that half of participating lawyers felt unable to sustain lifestyle equilibrium.

Yet there are many routes towards a better work-life-balance – but could the simplest solution be the way we approach our workloads?

 As any lawyer who has taken on a massive legal project will tell you, a touch of planning goes a long way. On a mission to deliver the best service to their clients, the best law firms are starting to use legal project management to manage legal cases and deliver better results to their clients.
