Collaborating to Reinvent Legal Project Management
I spoke with Phil Homburger, president of LawBase, a leading case and matter management system, and David Rueff, a shareholder and the legal project management officer at Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC, who oversees the development of the firm’s legal project management solution, BakerManage®, and is on the board of directors of the firm’s subsidiary, LegalShift, which is collaborating with LawBase to bring its technology to the broader market.We discussed BakerManage® and the genesis of its development, the collaboration between Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC and LawBase, why project management has become so important for legal professionals, and what an initiative like this one symbolizes about the evolution of the legal industry, among other topics.
