The reasons why legal ops failed to change a BigLaw firm

John Grant has a lot of experience bringing change to law firms – or trying to. As you might expect, John has seen both success and failure in those attempts, and he brings all of those stories to his discussion with Peter Aprile and Natalie Worsfold.

He's seen the marketing brochures trumpeting project management tech that only five people are actually using. He's seen the lack of strong executive leadership. He's also seen individual lawyers push a new idea through a whole office, purely on the strength of conviction. In short, he has been exactly where many of our listeners are, and he has wisdom to spare.

John Grant, Agile Attorney Network

John is known as the Agile Attorney and helps lawyers and legal teams deliver customer value using efficiency tools such Lean process improvement and agile project management.

Before he became a lawyer, John had a long career in operations and product management, which is probably why concepts like agile and Lean come naturally to him. John has brought these concepts to the legal industry working as in-house counsel, founding a law firm, working as a strategy manager in a large law firm, and working as a consultant to help lawyers build profitable and efficient practices.
