Business cycles come and go as do law firms – but there’s a constant: the level of competition within the legal profession is fierce and getting fiercer.
However, successful project management can give the professional legal practitioner the edge. It’s a business skill used in industries and professions across the globe: of all the available project management methods, PRINCE2 is the world’s most popular. If you don’t help manage a client’s project, you’re sitting on the sidelines in terms in terms of client care. Legal skills by themselves are not enough.
PRINCE2 is the gold-standard in project management methodologies. We’re teaching PRINCE2 2017 – the most up-to-date version at Foundation and Practitioner levels.
A logical, approachable guide to successfully managing any project.
An adaptable approach – can be customised for any organisation or for any individual role involved in managing projects.
Recognised the world over, and so adding value to you and your business.
How does project management work?
Modern business strategies are delivered in projects. These are unique and finite, commissioned to achieve clearly defined objectives within agreed timescales and budgets. Project management is different from ongoing management and requires specific tools and techniques to apply processes, methods, knowledge, skills and experience to achieve what’s required.
Project managers break up a project into tasks for their teams.

Frequently asked questions
Click on the question to find the answer
Studying for PRINCE2 helps the students to do the following:
Define why a project is necessary.
Describe the requirements of a project; specify the quality it needs to deliver; estimate the resources required and the timescales involved.
Prepare a business case to justify time, effort and resources spent.
Create and put into effect a project management plan.
Create and use communications with all stakeholders using clear and commonly accepted terms.
Manage project boundaries.
Manage changes on a project.
Monitor progress against objectives.
Create and use a project budget.
Begin and end a project in a controlled fashion.
PRINCE2 is compatible with all other project management certifications but it is nonetheless unique. For instance, students will work to the bespoke seven PRINCE2 principles:
Continued business justification: there must be an explainable and defendable purpose in running and managing the project. If not, it must be closed.
Learn from experience: PRINCE2 project teams continually draw upon lessons learned from previous work.
Defined roles and responsibilities: the PRINCE2 project team should be clearly organised involving the right people in the right tasks.
Manage by stages: PRINCE2 means planning, monitoring and controlling step by step.
Manage by exception: those within the project need the authority to work effectively within it.
Focus on products: PRINCE2 focuses on defining the product, delivery and the quality required.
Tailor to suit the project environment: PRINCE2 must adapt to the environment and culture within which the project sits; it needs to be capable of being amended according to its size, complexity, importance, capability and risks.
PRINCE2 is successful because it creates a common language for all participants in a project and was created from feedback from users, project management specialists and a review panel of 150 public and private sector organizations.

Practitioner Course
Holders of the Practitioner Certificate will have the learning to formulate or – with support and direction – initiate project management strategies and plans within a legal organisation.

The Practitioner certificate is for those whose current role depends upon running projects or whose future role will involve that.
It’s also highly relevant for leaders who may not be hands-on with projects but who will manage project managers or otherwise encounter projects frequently.
