Intro
Altman Weil - Law Firms in Transition 2016
Trend towards AFAsMeeting Clients’ demands for more price certainty
Realization that AFAs have a potential to earn bigger margin (if done right):
● Re-shaping internal practices
● Knowing your cost and controlling it
● Basing price on the value
What is LPM?
“A discipline that makes sure your clients get their services on time, in line with the agreed budget.”

Why should Law firms use LPM?In a way, you already do (so why not do it right)
If you do it right (structured) you will:
Control risks (no or late delivery; breaching budget);
Know (and lower) costs of delivery
Use any AFA; Be more profitable; Scale up or down
Go Agile when you face uncertainty(Litigation; M&A; Change of orders…)
