Description

"Self-care without team care is futile." This is the starting point of this talk. Many people have described the practice of law as toxic, but that toxicity is also how we feel we "have to get things done." What if you could change that? As a partner, law firm manager, or managing attorney, you can. Over the course of an hour, you will be introduced to agile project management techniques that you can implement, immediately, as well as principles and approaches to change the way you see firm management. We will cover the three pillars of the Livable Law legal project management method: tasks, time, and things. You will be able to implement scrum meetings, task lists, efficient calendaring, and document organization.
