Project Management Software Empowers the Litigation Support Department

By Laura Bandrowsky

Duane Morris LLP's Practice Support Department is constantly challenged by tight deadlines, tight budgets, numerous processes that require extensive planning and project management, and let's not forget the element of stress that comes with anything tied to the word “litigation.” The firm has advanced technologically over the years and operations have grown along with it. The Practice Support Department has long recognized the importance of project management to promote cost-containment strategies and to ensure compliance with discovery requirements during the discovery phase of a litigation case. While the firm developed its own sophisticated project management database, the newly implemented iFramework software takes project management to a higher level. It provides a wide variety of options for implementing individualized best practices for specific law firm or legal department needs. The level of project management afforded by iFramework promotes consistent, standardized, repeatable results, and at the same time, provides the ability to monitor costs to contain them at every phase of the project.
