“When I served as the Chief Practice Manager at Perkins Coie,” said Toby, “I hired NextGenLPM to coach the members of my LPM team to help them provide greater value to the firm’s lawyers by applying their best-in-market LPM coaching and consulting services. The result was a far more effective and satisfied team.”
“My goal in joining NextGenLPM is to help the market better appreciate the value of LPM and drive its broad adoption. I have come to the strong conclusion that lawyers without LPM skills are not as effective as they must be to thrive in today’s increasingly competitive marketplace. They may still be great lawyers, but they are not the kind of lawyers who make sure clients know what they are getting, know what the deliverables are, keep the client updated and are able to inform clients in real time of scope changes instead of just sending higher-than-expected bills three months later. For more details on these ideas, see my new article, Measuring Against Nothing.”
Our primary goal at NextGenLPM is to help our clients succeed, and we encourage the LPM community to join us in promulgating the cutting edge LPM skills and tools that will achieve that success. Leaders of law departments and law firms are welcome to contact Toby (tbrown@NextGenLPM.com) or Tim (tbatdorf@NextGenLPM.com) to learn more.
