Project Management & Productivity Experts

Lex provides law firms, in-house legal departments, government agencies, nonprofits, and legal vendors across the United States with on-site and remote project management and technology services. Our experts aid legal organizations in delivering more value to customers, minimizing waste, maximizing efficiency, and decreasing risk.

You may be working on a complex case that needs temporary project management support, or you may desire to establish your own project management office. Either way, we work with litigation firms that require project management support so they can focus on lawyering.

We also work with corporations involved in litigation that retain outside counsel and ensure there is a project plan to facilitate the completion of litigation projects as efficiently and effectively as possible. This helps corporations save on legal spending and supports private law firms that do not have a legal project manager on staff.

We assist public sector organizations and non-profits in establishing process improvement services and best practices in project management so that they can more easily comply with applicable laws and regulations and meet other organizational goals.

Take your place among the expanding number of legal organizations and enterprises that have witnessed revolutionary changes in the provision of legal services. See our services below to find out what we can do for you.

"Per Project" Consulting

We take care of the intricacies of managing complex legal projects, freeing up lawyers to concentrate on the core legal work. With a focus on project management best practices, we expertly plan, coordinate, and steer the successful conclusion of individual legal projects (cases or matters).

Our processes ensure that projects are delivered on schedule, within budget, and in accordance with scope, leading to increased profitability and reduced costs, whether using alternative fee arrangements or traditional billing methods.

Project Management Training

Let us equip you with the skills to master Agile, Scrum, Predictive, and Hybrid project management techniques. Our training program will enable you to consistently apply industry-standard tools and best practices to your legal projects, exceeding the expectations of clients, executives, and other stakeholders.

After thoroughly assessing your organization's policies, procedures, structures, and cultures, we provide customized training for your specific needs. Our training is delivered virtually or on-site, ensuring maximum flexibility.

Process Improvement

Legal Process Improvement (LPI) optimizes your operations, enabling you to provide high-quality work more effectively and at a lower cost. This leads to increased profitability and the ability to offer competitive fixed fees to clients.

Through a thorough evaluation of your current processes, we identify areas for improvement and eliminate any inefficiencies or redundancies. By streamlining your workflows, LPI reduces the burden of repetitive or menial tasks and allows for a more strategic allocation of time, staff, and resources, resulting in cost savings for your business.

Legal Technology

Lawyers typically focus on their area of expertise, leaving technology to IT specialists. However, failing to keep up with the latest tech trends gives your competitors an advantage in the digital arena.

The key to a thriving business is the ability to reach clients and potential clients through cutting-edge technology. That's where we come in. Our team works closely with legal professionals to identify technology solutions that are both user-friendly and aligned with project goals. This allows you to stay ahead of the curve and reach more people in new and innovative ways.

Project Estimating

Relying solely on intuition to determine the cost of legal matters can result in missed opportunities for revenue and dissatisfaction from clients. We assist you in accurately accounting for variables and risks that may impact cost or timeline.

A well-constructed project estimate provides a clear understanding of the resources, effort, and cost required to complete a project, making it easier to develop a feasible project budget and plan. This sets your legal team and organization up for success.

Based on your specific needs, we utilize a range of estimation methods, including bottom-up, top-down, parametric, PERT, and other techniques, to provide a precise project estimate.

PMO Outsourcing

Lex provides Project Management Office (PMO) services to organizations lacking their own internal PMO. Our PMO offers support for planning, scheduling, procurement, and all aspects of execution and tracking for legal projects.

Our PMO also serves as a repository of predesigned, customizable documents that project managers and the legal team can use to establish and standardize project processes, reporting, communication, and other project and portfolio management activities.

Take advantage of our expertise to avoid project missteps and ensure that projects stay on track. With our PMO services, you can maximize the success of your legal projects.

Methodologies

Our Methodologies

Traditional - Predictive/Waterfall

Take the "complex" out of complex legal matters. Traditional project management guides you through scoping and planning upfront. Formal processes steer the team through the initiating, planning, executing, monitoring/controlling, and closing phases of your legal cases and matters with less stress and greater productivity. Best practices in documentation guide your team through next steps, reducing unexpected events and risks. Traditional project management methodology is best suited for medium to large-scale legal projects and any size legal team, large or small.

Agile - Scrum

In a fast-paced office where circumstances change from one moment to the next, you need a methodology that accommodates rapid adaptation to change. The Agile: Scrum method uses a continuous cycle of planning and execution in 1-week to 1-month periods. The focus is more on controlling work in progress, improved collaboration, and rapid feedback (status updates) rather than prescriptive processes. This lightweight framework uses cutting-edge processes to plan work before each iterative cycle. Its incremental approach allows the legal team to flex as needed and is suitable for small to medium-scale projects and teams of 3-9 people.

Hybrid - The Best of Both Worlds

Hybrid project management (combining two or different project frameworks), helps you create a customized method to support your legal project needs. You might take advantage of traditional project management's initiating and planning phase if a complex legal matter would benefit from a comprehensive project plan but choose to execute and close the project using Scrum's more flexible (Agile) framework. With Hybrid project management, you benefit from maximum adaptation in project planning and execution.
