Taking the agile approach to managing your firm has many benefits.
First, lean practice management promotes efficiency. The more efficient your firm is, the more profitable it can be.
And when your firm is more efficient, your employees can enjoy a greater work-life balance.
Furthermore, agile matter management lets you cut down on admin tasks and gives you more time to take on pro bono work. Pursuing pro bono work is tremendously rewarding because it lets you and your colleagues help those in need, work on matters you wouldn’t typically get to work on, and develop professional skills.
When attorneys at your firm can earn a good income, enjoy a work-life balance, and work on fulfilling cases, they’ll be more satisfied with their work and more likely to stay with your firm. Staff turnover has become a $9.1 billion problem for the legal field. Reducing turnover lets your firm save money and focus on winning cases, rather than on replacing talent.
