Collaboration: The Congruency between LPM and Business Development

Next Stage Legal Project Management: Future-proof Your Matter Management

Blank Rome’s Mitchell Sterling, Senior Director of Business Development, and Anshoo Patel, Director of Practice Innovation and Value, authored the chapter on “Collaboration: The Congruency between LPM and Business Development” in Next Stage Legal Project Management: Future-proof Your Matter Management (Globe Law and Business, March 2021).

In their chapter, Mitchell and Anshoo take a 360 view of client-focused collaboration among senior business professionals to drive revenue and enhance profitability. Their key takeaway is the concept of a “collaborative relay,” which illustrates the various client touchpoints where legal project management and business development can engage in an intentional inter-departmental partnership to advance firm objectives and enhance client service delivery.
