Keystone Law Group Named Industry Transformation Winner in Asana's 2026 Work Innovation Awards

PR Newswire

Keystone Law Group is transforming how legal work gets done by empowering its probate attorneys with standardized workflows that drive clear accountability and keep work moving on time. This innovative approach not only streamlines every legal matter but also delivers consistently high-quality results and enhances the client experience from inception to resolution.

LOS ANGELES, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Keystone Law Group, P.C. has been named the AMER Industry Transformation winner as part of Asana's 2026 Work Innovation Awards. This prestigious recognition honors Keystone's pioneering approach to transforming how probate attorneys manage complex litigation. The firm earned the distinction for building workflow templates for its legal team that ensure work gets done on time, with the same level of quality clients have come to expect. These workflows save the firm an average of 122 hours each month—approximately $1.18 million annually—and, alongside implementing Asana Goals to support the firm's Objectives and Key Results, helped push completion rates above 90% in 2025.

"Asana is transformative for us," Managing Partner Shawn Kerendian stated. "I'm so proud of this recognition. It validates how we've been able to upend conventional legal practice models, enabling our probate attorneys to focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients."

Revolutionizing Legal Operations

Keystone set out to solve a critical operational challenge: scaling a fast-growing, deadline-driven legal practice while reducing manual overhead and protecting court-mandated timelines. To do so, the firm built a centralized, AI-enabled work management system in Asana that standardizes how every client matter is planned, executed, and monitored. At the core of this system are structured task templates, each containing 10 to 30+ sequenced subtasks with dependencies and prepopulated estimated time. Matters are launched through a custom intake form that automatically links each matter to the correct client project and coordinates cross‑department execution. Real‑time dashboards and Global Workload views give leadership immediate visibility into capacity, bottlenecks, and overdue risk, enabling proactive staffing and reassignment decisions. Keystone now saves about 1,458 hours annually (approximately 182 workdays a year), unlocking meaningful capacity while safeguarding compliance and client service.

Data-Driven Goal Achievement

This initiative is integrated with Keystone's broader digital transformation and AI strategy, particularly through the firm's Objectives and Key Results framework in Asana. Annual company goals are translated into departmental goals and milestones, each tracked through AI-supported status updates and completion safeguards. To ensure data integrity, Keystone created custom milestone completion fields that flow directly into its data warehouse and company health dashboards, with AI-generated prompts automatically flagging missing data or overdue milestones. Weekly task cleanups reinforce accountability and realistic planning, while insights from Asana reporting inform hiring decisions, process refinements, and monthly partner reporting. In 2023, the firm saw completion rates of 69.5% for Departmental Key Results (DKRs) and 77.3% for Company Key Results (CKRs), and by 2025, with the implementation and full utilization of Asana Goals, those numbers surged with DKRs at 99.4% and CKRs at 90%. Recently, Keystone has begun piloting Asana AI Studio to automate task tracking and reduce manual reporting around repeatedly extended deadlines. The impact spans every department, creating a unified workflow ecosystem that evolves as Keystone scales.

"Keystone Law Group represents exactly the kind of results-driven innovation the Work Innovation Awards were created to celebrate. By building a centralized, AI-powered system to manage complex legal workflows, they've unlocked significant efficiency gains and driven consistently high completion rates. It's a powerful example of how organizations can use Asana to scale operations, improve visibility, and deliver better outcomes for their clients," Asana's Chief Customer Officer Josh Abdulla stated.
