DALLAS (October 2024)—Lathrop GPM is pleased to announce that Paige Keith has been elevated to the role of Chief Financial Officer, overseeing the operational aspects of the firm with an eye toward long-term financial strategy. Keith previously served the firm as Director of Pricing and Legal Project Management.

“Over the past few years, Paige has served the firm incredibly well, and we are thrilled that she is stepping into this role,” said Courtney M. Landon, Lathrop GPM’s Chief Operating Officer. “We are fortunate to have someone with her unique understanding of revenue and financial strategy, combined with her extensive experience leading legal finance teams, ready to take on a position of such vital importance to the firm.”

Keith has nearly 20 years of experience leading high-performing teams at national law firms. Before joining Lathrop GPM in 2019, she spent almost 16 years at a mid-size national litigation boutique firm. There, she served in several capacities—Director of Litigation Services, Director of Finance and Strategic Initiatives, and finally, Chief Financial Officer. In addition, she has six combined years of practice management experience at two separate firms.

“I am excited to serve Lathrop GPM in this role,” said Keith. “Over the past five years, I have seen this firm grow and evolve, expanding and refining its operations to provide excellent legal services as efficiently and effectively as possible. I look forward to being a part of our continued growth as we hone our financial strategy to ensure a prosperous future for the firm and our clients.”

As Lathrop GPM has grown, the finance department has embraced several new initiatives in recent years, including implementing a new accounting system, improving the collections process and introducing global expense management software that streamlines reporting for financial operations professionals.
