Project Management for Lawyers: Survey Insights from Dashboard Legal

This session is designed to offer a comprehensive overview of how modern legal professionals can effectively navigate and master the intricacies of project management in their practices.

In this webinar, we will delve into the results of a recent survey conducted by Dashboard Legal, aiming to understand how lawyers currently allocate their time between various tasks and the administrative challenges they face. Our discussion will not just highlight the critical findings but also provide practical interpretations and applications of these insights for everyday legal work.

Key insights from the survey of more than 550 attorneys include:
• Only 14% of attorneys have access to a firm-implemented project management tool.
• About a third of firms are planning to implement a project management tool in the coming year.
• 65% of lawyers say a project management tool is their most important need.
• 66% of lawyers who’ve used a project management tool say they’re valuable.

We will examine key topics including the distribution of time between substantive legal work and administrative duties, common pain points in the legal profession such as case management difficulties, and the integration of project management tools. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the current state of project management for lawyers, learning about the various tools and technologies lawyers are using, from traditional options like email and Excel to more sophisticated platforms like Dashboard Legal.

This webinar is an essential platform for lawyers, legal administrators, and other legal professionals who are keen to enhance their project management skills and adapt to the evolving demands of the legal industry.

The Dashboard Legal white paper will be officially released on November 28th.
