After completing one of my courses you will understand the key principles of legal project management, feel confident about putting them into action and become more able leading teams and driving legal project management roll-out in your organisation.

Legal project management training is for legal service professionals and professional project managers wanting to transition into legal services. Solicitors, barristers, costs lawyers, professional support lawyers, professional project managers looking to enter the legal profession and legal industry consultants wanting to improve services to their clients have all been on my courses.

The International Institute of Legal Project Management (IILPM) certification is now widely recognised, with IILPM Legal Project Practitioners^TM or Legal Project Associates^TM working in more than 45 countries (and counting).  IILPM certification provides assurance to legal service organisations and their clients that IILPM graduates have a thorough understanding of legal project management and are competent to play leading roles in legal service delivery teams.

Legal Project Management Training Courses

Since February 2020 I have delivered all of my training online, with all live training via Zoom.  While I would like to return to face to face training for some courses, I will of course be monitoring the Covid-19 situation here in the U.K closely and plan accordingly.

I deliver two broad classes of legal project management training courses: IILPM certification courses and shorter non-certification courses.

IILPM LPM certification courses last either two days (Legal Project Associate – LPA), or three days (Legal Project Practitioner – LPP).

Certification courses

• Are based on the IILPM’s 4-Phase Legal Project Management Framework
• Cover traditional (‘predictive’) project techniques as well as Agile (‘adaptive’) techniques
• Have a lot of workshops and exercises so students get some guided practice at applying project management to legal matters.

Shorter non-certification legal project management courses can last varying amounts of time, although most commonly I run ‘bite-sized’ sessions of about 90 minutes or sessions of half a day.

Non-certification courses to date are:

• ‘On demand’ courses open to all
• Courses Lasting up to two hours for partners and senior management staff in law firms
• Half day courses for practising solicitors
• Courses for specific cohorts, such as potential partners and
• Courses for in-house legal teams.

A number of my courses are public courses open to individual subscription.

You can find out courses currently available and scheduled for 2022 here.

Legal Process Improvement Training Courses

The International Institute of Legal Project Management (IILPM) has created the certification of Legal Process Improvement Professional (LPIP).

LPIP training and certification is relevant to anyone with an interest in improving processes in the legal services industry.

The training and certification course lasts two days and there are no pre-requisites for attendance.

After completing two days of training you will become a certified Legal Project Improvement Professional (LPIP).
