Legal Value Network Founding Board Members Keith Maziarek and Justin Ergler visit Technically Legal for Episode 32.  Keith, a second time guest (Episode 15 – legal service pricing) and Justin talk about the genesis of LVN (an evolution from the P3 conference) and the group’s mission of “designing, building and implementing the foundations of a more contemporary and commercially-sound model of legal service delivery.”

Keith is Director of Legal Pricing and Project Management at Katten Muchin and  Justin is Director of Alternative Fee Intelligence and Analytics at GlaxoSmithKline.

Keith and Justin explain that inclusiveness is a big goal for the Legal Value Network and the group wants to create a membership community with representation from all corners of the legal ecosystem. 

The group’s activities and educational offerings are organized into the Six Pillars of LVN:

• Essentials: webinars, podcasts and publications
• Labs: to hone industry standards through client and law firm collaboration
• Legends: recognizing achievement in legal innovation and evolution
• Horizons: geographic chapters
• Pulse:  monitoring legal industry developments via surveys
• Legacy: mentoring, leadership development, “Ask a Pro” forums and diversity initiatives

Keith and Justin explain that through LVN they hope to encourage community and collaboration throughout the legal services industry.
