Description: Close to leaving the profession she worked so hard to join, Giugi Carminati realized what was missing: Legal project management. But there was a problem.

Carminati and host Christopher Anderson talk about how legal project management is slowly being adopted and embraced in the legal profession. Carminati explains how this change in management can help firms retain women and lawyers of color before they get fed up and flee. Giugi Carminati is an experienced litigator and certified Legal Project Manager and eDiscovery Director for NDH, LLC. Special thanks to our sponsors, Scorpion, Lawclerk, Alert Communications and LawYaw.
