1700’s
2020
Legal Project Management (LPM) training
PwC
Legal Project Management (LPM) training 2020
• A ‘fixed mindset’: lawyers spend significant amounts of time doing repetitive
tasks that could be done more effectively via automation or outsourcing
• As knowledge workers we spend ~30% of our work day manually
searching for information (co-locating tasks, emails and documents)
• We constantly recreate information and advice that could be reused if we
had systems that enabled it
• Poor communication and siloed approaches
• We make many work choices through gut feel judgement rather than data-
driven decision making or pre-defined processes
• ‘Ready-fire-aim’ approach
• Pessimistic, sceptical and low-trust mindset
The old mindset of our old profession…
manifests in inefficient behaviours
• We have difficulty quantifying the value that we
contribute to our clients – there is a lack of structured
data (NewLaw Legal Department Metrics Report)

PwC
Lawyers are project managers
Every legal matter is a project – with a start
point, a deliverable and an end-point
“A project is a temporary endeavour undertaken to create a
unique product, service or result”
Every lawyer is a project manager or project
team member
“Project management is the application of knowledge, skills,
tools and techniques to project activities to meet project
requirements”
Legal Project Management “adapts proven management
techniques to the legal profession to help lawyers achieve
their business goals”

Managing expectations: the Triple Constraint
PwC
Legal Project Management (LPM) training 2020
First understand the ‘big picture’…
• Objective: what are we trying to achieve? What does ‘good’
look like?
• Priority: is this a team priority (considering risk, effort, urgency
and strategic alignment)?
• Knowledge: have we have done something similar before?
…before you undertake more detailed planning:
• Delivery Strategy: what are the project’s work streams,
dependencies and timeframes?
• Stakeholders: who do I need to access and when?
• Budget: are there cost constraints and assumptions?
• Communication: how will we track and communicate progress?
How will we address changes and resolve disagreements?
Preparing for your legal project’s kick-off meeting

Legal Project Management (LPM) training
In your teams, imagine that you have been given a puzzle toy
and asked to build a pyramid as quickly as possible. There is
some good-natured competition between the teams as you tip
the pieces out onto the table and get started. You are
reminded to ask any questions that you want.
Q. As you start to try and put the pieces together, what are
some of the questions that you could ask?
Q. Would it be ok to look at what the other teams are doing?
After a few minutes, most teams are still struggling to solve
this simple toy…
Q. Is there anything else that would help you right now?
PwC
Legal Project Management (LPM) training 2020
Competence, and Efficient and Affordable Access to Justice:
LPM approaches ensure effective strategic/detailed planning, cost control, resource allocation and risk
management: ‘deliver legal services competently, diligently and as promptly as reasonably possible’ (SR
4); ‘must act reasonably to avoid unnecessary delay resulting in increased legal costs’ (LPUL s173)
Challenge scenarios:
– Should a lawyer undertake out-of-scope work to deliver a successful outcome?
– Should a lawyer deliver lower quality work when directed?
– Charging clients for LPM?
Client Interests, Empowerment and Education, Fair and Reasonable Costs:
LPM (strategic planning, detailed planning, tracking and reporting) reduces information asymmetry and
increases both transparency and governance: ‘empowering clients… to make informed choices about the
services they access and the costs involved’ (LPUL s3) – similarly for SR7
Challenge scenarios:
– Does the client understand what scope they really need?
– Accurate estimates, and writing-down time of lawyers to meet unrealistic estimates?
– Under-playing risks/effort/costs to secure work?
17
Summary: your professional obligations under the
Legal Professional Uniform Law and Solicitors Rules
Developed in collaboration with Dr Justine Rogers, UNSW.
PwC
Legal Project Management (LPM) training 2020
Communication, Disclosure, Confidentiality and Privilege:
LPM encourages communication that is timely, responsive and complete: ‘provide clear and timely advice
to assist the client… to make informed choices about action to be taken’ (SR 7)
Challenge scenarios:
– ‘Watermelon reporting’ is the most commonly reported ethical breach by project managers
– Balancing the risks of data disclosure against the benefits of online collaboration
– Is privilege waived for in-house lawyers undertaking non-legal roles on non-legal projects?
Collegiality, Diversity and Wellbeing:
LPM helps establish self-managing work teams with improved trust, morale and effectiveness, and
reduced conflict and re-work; and diverse teams are more creative: ‘a solicitor with designated
responsibility for a matter must exercise reasonable supervision over solicitors and all other employees’
(SR 37); the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) and Workplace Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth)
Challenge scenario: Does increased standardisation/managerialism reduce lawyers’ capacity and
responsibility for independent professional/ethical judgement?

Why is communication important?
• Good communication is critical for project success:
– 40% of projects do not meet their original goals and business intent, and one-half of those
unsuccessful projects are related to ineffective communications
– 80% of projects that have good communication (with sufficient clarity and detail, and using the
language of their audience) do meet their original business goals and intent
• Good communication is a leading complaint against NSW lawyers
– According to the Office of the Legal Services Commissioner (NSW), the most frequent complaints
against NSW lawyers involve negligence, poor communication and ethical matters
– 2016/17 OLSC Annual Report: “So as to be able to most effectively serve their clients’ best
interests within the over-riding context of safeguarding the system of justice, I believe that
improvement in the skill of communication, in all its facets, will be required by lawyers in the future.”
• PMI – The Essential Role of Communication: https://www.pmi.org/-/media/pmi/documents/public/pdf/learning/thought-leadership/pulse/the-essential-role-of-communications.pdf

  • 8. PwC Legal Project Management (LPM) training 2020 • A ‘fixed mindset’: lawyers spend significant amounts of time doing repetitive tasks that could be done more effectively via automation or outsourcing • As knowledge workers we spend ~30% of our work day manually searching for information (co-locating tasks, emails and documents) • We constantly recreate information and advice that could be reused if we had systems that enabled it • Poor communication and siloed approaches • We make many work choices through gut feel judgement rather than data- driven decision making or pre-defined processes • ‘Ready-fire-aim’ approach • Pessimistic, sceptical and low-trust mindset The old mindset of our old profession… manifests in inefficient behaviours • We have difficulty quantifying the value that we contribute to our clients – there is a lack of structured data (NewLaw Legal Department Metrics Report) 8

PwC Lawyers are project managers Every legal matter is a project – with a start point, a deliverable and an end-point “A project is a temporary endeavour undertaken to create a unique product, service or result” Every lawyer is a project manager or project team member “Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements” Legal Project Management “adapts proven management techniques to the legal profession to help lawyers achieve their business goals” PMBOK Guide, Sixth Edition, 2017 Hassett (2013) Legal Project Management, Pricing, and Alternative Fee Arrangements 12 Legal Project Management (LPM) training

How will we address changes and resolve disagreements? Preparing for your legal project’s kick-off meeting 15

There is some good-natured competition between the teams as you tip the pieces out onto the table and get started. You are reminded to ask any questions that you want. Q. As you start to try and put the pieces together, what are some of the questions that you could ask? Q. Would it be ok to look at what the other teams are doing? After a few minutes, most teams are still struggling to solve this simple toy… Q. Is there anything else that would help you right now?
  • 17. PwC Legal Project Management (LPM) training 2020 Competence, and Efficient and Affordable Access to Justice: LPM approaches ensure effective strategic/detailed planning, cost control, resource allocation and risk management: ‘deliver legal services competently, diligently and as promptly as reasonably possible’ (SR 4); ‘must act reasonably to avoid unnecessary delay resulting in increased legal costs’ (LPUL s173) Challenge scenarios: – Should a lawyer undertake out-of-scope work to deliver a successful outcome? – Should a lawyer deliver lower quality work when directed? – Charging clients for LPM? Client Interests, Empowerment and Education, Fair and Reasonable Costs: LPM (strategic planning, detailed planning, tracking and reporting) reduces information asymmetry and increases both transparency and governance: ‘empowering clients… to make informed choices about the services they access and the costs involved’ (LPUL s3) – similarly for SR7 Challenge scenarios: – Does the client understand what scope they really need? – Accurate estimates, and writing-down time of lawyers to meet unrealistic estimates? – Under-playing risks/effort/costs to secure work? 17 Summary: your professional obligations under the Legal Professional Uniform Law and Solicitors Rules Developed in collaboration with Dr Justine Rogers, UNSW.
  • 18. PwC Legal Project Management (LPM) training 2020 Communication, Disclosure, Confidentiality and Privilege: LPM encourages communication that is timely, responsive and complete: ‘provide clear and timely advice to assist the client… to make informed choices about action to be taken’ (SR 7) Challenge scenarios: – ‘Watermelon reporting’ is the most commonly reported ethical breach by project managers – Balancing the risks of data disclosure against the benefits of online collaboration – Is privilege waived for in-house lawyers undertaking non-legal roles on non-legal projects? Collegiality, Diversity and Wellbeing: LPM helps establish self-managing work teams with improved trust, morale and effectiveness, and reduced conflict and re-work; and diverse teams are more creative: ‘a solicitor with designated responsibility for a matter must exercise reasonable supervision over solicitors and all other employees’ (SR 37); the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) and Workplace Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth) Challenge scenario: Does increased standardisation/managerialism reduce lawyers’ capacity and responsibility for independent professional/ethical judgement? 18 Summary: your professional obligations under the Legal Professional Uniform Law and Solicitors Rules Developed in collaboration with Dr Justine Rogers, UNSW.

PwC Legal Project Management (LPM) training 2020 Why is communication important? • Good communication is critical for project success: – 40% of projects do not meet their original goals and business intent, and one-half of those unsuccessful projects are related to ineffective communications – 80% of projects that have good communication (with sufficient clarity and detail, and using the language of their audience) do meet their original business goals and intent • Good communication is a leading complaint against NSW lawyers – According to the Office of the Legal Services Commissioner (NSW), the most frequent complaints against NSW lawyers involve negligence, poor communication and ethical matters – 2016/17 OLSC Annual Report: “So as to be able to most effectively serve their clients’ best interests within the over-riding context of safeguarding the system of justice, I believe that improvement in the skill of communication, in all its facets, will be required by lawyers in the future.” • PMI – The Essential Role of Communication: https://www.pmi.org/-/media/pmi/documents/public/pdf/learning/thought-leadership/pulse/the-essential-role-of-communications.pdf • http://www.lmhub.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/ALMJ-June2018-TrishCarroll-PDF.pdf
