Project Planning

By Paul Silverman
October 26, 2011

As legal professionals we have multiple obligations, not the least of which is to be able to pay our bills and keep our businesses viable. To that end, we must continually assess the best investment of our time and money. Project management needs vary depending on areas of practice and specific matters. For example, I had one client say to me, “I deal with quick-turnaround tax matters, there's no time for project planning. The matter hits my desk and I have to have it out the door within two days.” No doubt that this is true, but it's important to note that this particular partner also has many firm-wide obligations that are longer-term and with significant impact on the firm's operations. For those responsibilities, effective project management becomes one of the most cost-effective and powerful tools in your tool belt.
