A showcase of shortlisted entries for LPM Practice Excellence Awards 2019

FEATURES


ISSUE IN BRIEF

The inaugural LPM Practice Excellence Awards, officially launched in February 2019, was met with great success – if we do say so ourselves – for its first year. SME law firms could enter into two categories. The people and engagement category was awarded for a people-focused initiative, change, programme or similar that demonstrated excellence in human capital innovation or employee engagement. And the service delivery efficiency or innovation award was given for a programme, process or business change improving the firm’s effectiveness and efficiency.

WINNER, PEOPLE AND ENGAGEMENT – RAMSDENS

Our Ramsdens management programme (RMP) – launched in 2014 – covers legal, business and finance, practice management, and people skills, providing participants with the tools to become our future partners and leaders.

WINNER, SERVICE DELIVERY EFFICIENCY AND INNOVATION – HAROLD BENJAMIN

This submission is what we believe is a renaissance moment in anti-money laundering (AML)/identity checking for law firms. We’re the first UK law firm to implement this revolutionary solution into commercial use for a business.

HIGH RISE VALUE

Process time across many client service areas and workflows are key to administrative efficiency, and therefore profitability, says Accesspoint Legal Services director Gary Shaw.
