Think getting a group of litigators to perform their jobs more efficiently is tough? Matt Bohnen, a senior project manager at Shook, Hardy & Bacon, isn’t daunted.
A former civil engineer, Bohnen, 37, previously helped manage the construction of oil refineries on the Gulf Coast for global engineering firm Black & Veatch. The job involved overseeing hundreds of workers and budgets worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It also required Bohnen to meet strict deadlines under the constant threat of accidents while keeping costs in line with estimates. “It makes project management in the legal industry look like a walk in the park,” Bohnen says.
