How Law Firms Can Use The Livable Law Method to Increase Efficiency, Reduce Attorney Attrition And Prevent Burnout - Yahoo Finance
Livable Law author Dr. Giugi Carminati introduces a novel project management method for law firms to create healthier workplaces and transform the practice of law
DENVER, Oct. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Law firms can be more efficient, profitable and retain more staff, especially women attorneys, by implementing project management techniques and creating a culture that supports work-life boundaries to reduce burnout, according to Livable Law author Dr. Giugi Carminati.
Carminati is an attorney and a certified legal and e-discovery project management consultant, who helps legal firms implement the Livable Law Method to improve their operations.
After two burnouts, a life threatening event in 2020, and years trying to leave the legal profession, Carminati created a system that's transforming the practice of law for the better.
"The big benefit of project management through the Livable Law Method, is that it makes the law livable and stops lawyers fleeing the legal profession looking for sanity," said Carminati.
Lawyers and their staff typically put in long hours, experiencing unhealthy levels of stress, and eventual burnout. Levels of anxiety, depression, and substance abuse among lawyers are alarming.
Bar associations are sensitive to this, and seminars on ways to "decrease burnout" abound. But, until now, the only solutions they offered centered around lawyers doing "self-care." Carminati's Livable Law Method is different because it focuses on systemic change.
Lawyers and their staff work crazy hours leaving little time for family life or personal wellbeing.
"Eventually, they leave. The exodus is disproportionally among women lawyers, and especially women of color, who are crucial if we want to have an equitable justice system representing everyone in society," said Carminati.
When she implemented The Livable Law Method at a civil law firm, stress levels immediately plummeted and workflows leveled out, which is uncharacteristic in the legal field.
