It's a growing field, but ymmv. A lot of firms are "trying" LPM right now but don't have more than one or two practice groups that are actually using the function well.

It has a strong future because the rise in legal ops within legal departments requires the rise of LPMs to meet those demands. But it's new.

Before going into it, I'd check to see the maturity of the LPM group, its size, the qualifications of the LPM leadership.

Definitely looking to get into LPM, especially before it becomes too big (I assume it will)

Anyone know any decent web developers that can quote for a project?

I’m about to give my notice at a firm I’ve been at for the majority of my legal career. They’ve recently offered me non-equity partnership (which I’ve accepted), w equity partnership on the horizon. However, I’ve been annoyed with their way of running the business and getting between me and my earnings far too long; and I received a lucrative offer to go in-house. I’m not looking forward to their reaction and feel bad about them having to take over my docket when everyone’s very busy. Any tips?
