CHICAGO (September 6, 2011)  — Kim Craig, Director of Seyfarth Shaw’s Project Management Office (PMO), was recognized as the 2011 Professional Services Champion by the International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) for her leadership in transforming Seyfarth’s PMO team into a client-facing and revenue-generating service.

It's great to be honored by our peers from across the legal profession."
