Legal Project Management Training Courses 2026

Course Deliverables

1. Written notes: covering all topics referred to in each course.
2. IILPM Templates: which can be used to execute key tasks found in legal project management.
3. Practical workshops: my public courses have practical workshops and exercises baked in.  Experience shows these really help students better understand key concepts and develop their legal project management skills.  The course is a great opportunity to network, share experiences and learn about what other people are doing.
4. Post course follow-up: few things are as frustrating as completing a course full of new ideas and enthusiasm, only to find when you return to work course notes get filed away as the daily demands of ‘business as usual’ take over again.  I am really keen that course graduates get to apply legal project management after training.  With this in mind we offer course graduates three hours of free consultancy advice (via telephone or online). We find the people who take up this offer are usually those charged with implementing legal project management in their organisation.  Some people continue the consultations, which become chargeable after the three hours.
5. Graduate meet-ups: Every month we arrange an online meet-up for all of our IILPM certification graduates.  Attendance to these meet-ups is free to IILPM graduates and the purpose of the meetings is to exchange best practice information about the continued development of legal project management and legal process improvement.

Course Outline

Broadly the course is in two parts.

1. The first two days we work through the core elements of the IILPM 4-Phase LPM framework:
   1. Matter Definition
   2. Matter Planning
   3. Matter Delivery and
   4. Matter Close.
2. Then on day three we consider how to further improve legal service delivery using Agile, Process Mapping, Legal Design and I.T. support for LPM.

An Intensive Course With Workshops and Exercises

Our teaching style is informal, but please be aware that this is an intensive course. We appreciate that it is quite a commitment for legal service professionals to take three days out of their business as usual activities to attend a training course.  So our commitment to you in return is a course which is comprehensive, engaging and at times challenging.

With this in mind, please be prepared to fully engage and participate in the workshops and exercises.

Students usually get a lot out of the workshops and exercises.  Everyone enjoys the opportunity to work alongside a wide range of professionals engaged in legal service delivery.  Our previous courses have been attended by solicitors, barristers, cost lawyers, in-house lawyers, government lawyers, professional support lawyers, business development professionals and project managers.

Legal Project Management Training: Private Courses for Legal Teams

In addition to our public courses, we provide private courses for legal service teams in law firms and in-house departments.  Further information about these types of courses can be found here.
