Baker Donelson is a pioneer in legal project management and one of the first firms in the U.S. to develop its own LPM system, BakerManage®. BakerManage® is our award-winning LPM platform and the foundation for planning, budgeting, reporting, and management of any type of legal engagement, whether business or litigation. Since its creation in 2012, we have implemented the system on more than 13,000 client matters and/or portfolios. Continued usage has proven to reduce matter costs by 30 – 45 percent for select clients.
BakerManage® encourages enhanced communication and transparency, greater team collaboration, systematic planning, proactive monitoring, and real-time performance metrics. The system assembles all key project information in one secure location, including scope, tasks, schedules, deadlines, budgets, reports, and performance. Using SharePoint, the platform securely shares information in real time with our team and clients through customized dashboards that are accessible 24/7 on desktop and mobile devices.
Our dedicated in-house Client Solutions Group, comprised of lawyers who are also certified as Project Management Professionals (PMPTM), the Toyota Manufacturing Production System (Lean), and Six Sigma specialists, works closely with our attorneys and clients to implement the BakerManage® platform at no additional cost to our clients.
