Matter Management Masterclass

Stay in control of your practice

no matter where your team is

with a visual tool that's easy to learn and quick to implement...so you'll be able to save time, reduce your stress, and spot issues before they derail your files

If you’re a lawyer, practice group leader, or legal project manager responsible for a portfolio of matters, or you're a lead attorney running a complex file, you already know how to juggle a lot of balls at once.

You've got to make sure everyone has enough work...but not too much.

You've got to spot issues before they derail your deal, undermine your case, or take you over budget.

You need to know that the work is getting done on time, and

You need to know where matters stand so you can respond quickly when clients ask, "Hey, where is that..."

There's a lot you already know about managing your workload, but...

 

HERE'S WHAT YOU

MIGHT NOT KNOW

about why a matter management board can help

  • We process visual information faster

    Our brains process visual information 60,000 times faster than text, and 90% of the information transmitted to our brains is visual. That's why a board is easier to use and less stressful than that 15-page To-Do list you've got on the corner of your desk.
  • Seeing work makes your whole team more productive

    When everyone can see what has to be done, it's easier for teams to collaborate and generate new ideas that increase productivity and overall performance...especially when your team is working remotely and away from the usual routine. You'll spend less time in meetings asking for updates on where things stand. 
  • Your work will be more profitable

    Use the board to spot where your process breaks down, where things stall, where tasks fall between the cracks...so you can target those problems and create a more efficient, effective way to execute your work.

Are your matters always on time and on budget?

Do you find it hard to:

  • Keep track of the status of all your open matters?
  • Track the work in progress of your department?
  • Supervise effectively when your team works remotely?

Can you always tell at a glance:

  • Which files are stalled and need your attention?
  • Who is working on what, their workload, and their availability to take on new matters?
  • The status of outstanding issues and key tasks on each transaction or litigation file you’re managing?

If you answered “No” to any one of these questions, then a matter management board will improve your profitability and productivity, helping you better manage your work, your team, and your practice group. 

We get your concern. We practiced law for more than 20 years each. We've been in your shoes and we have our own war stories...and we know it doesn’t have to be so hard.
