FAQ

Answers to Common Questions

Legal project management training can feel new, but our Faculty ensures clarity. Below you’ll find answers to common questions about how our courses work and what you can expect.

How relevant is project management to law?
arrow-down

Project management is now essential across every major sector — from healthcare to technology — because it provides structure for consistent, high-quality delivery. Law is no different. Every legal matter involves managing tasks, people, deadlines, scope, and risk. Applying project management principles helps lawyers deliver predictable results, control costs, and enhance client satisfaction.

How does Legal Project Management training help lawyers?
arrow-down

LPM training helps lawyers master the tools and mindset of modern project management. It adapts proven project management methods to the legal environment, enabling lawyers to plan more efficiently, communicate more clearly, reduce rework, and improve profitability. In practice, it equips lawyers to manage their matters as structured, outcome-driven projects — without losing the professional judgment that defines legal practice.

Do I Need Project Management Experience Before Enrolling?
arrow-down

No prior project management training is required. Our courses are designed to introduce LPM principles step by step, making them accessible for early-career lawyers while still adding value for experienced practitioners.
