Calling for Submissions for the IILPM Awards 2023
There are 4 global IILPM Awards 2023 categories to recognise outstanding performance in both
Legal Project Management (LPM) and Legal Process Improvement (LPI).

The International Institute of Legal Project Management represents an award-winning worldwide community of legal professionals with graduates in 58 countries that are focused on the practical application of legal project management and legal process improvement practices to improve legal matter delivery and legal service operations. The Institute has university partners in 6 countries offering education to help their students achieve global certifications, and a network of Accredited Training Providers in 13 countries offering face-to-face education.
Legal project management is defined as the “application of project management principles and practices to enhance the delivery of legal services”. Through our research of legal practitioners working in LPM in 9 countries, the phrase is used to encompass not only project tools and techniques to legal practice, but to also include legal process improvement methods, enabling technology, and a focus on the people dynamics.
Good legal service delivery requires effective systems and processes. Legal process improvement is defined as, “a structured methodology for optimizing legal and business processes, so that legal professionals can deliver high-quality, cost-effective services in less time and with less effort.”
Effective research, investigative actions, evidence collection and presentation is an important part of a sound investigation. The IILPM encourages a project-based approach for the effective planning, budgeting and execution of investigative matters.
