About the Program
Technology changes much faster than the law and it’s pretty difficult for any busy lawyer to keep up with it. “I feel like I’ve fallen behind” is a common refrain. In many cases, just having a road map and plan for increasing efficiency can make a big difference in stress reduction and focus. In this class, you’ll receive a large number of recommendations and examples for increasing efficiency and profitability without simply running faster on the proverbial treadmill. We’ll explain what technologies should be on your radar, how to get the most of what you already have, and how to make smart acquisitions to fill any tech or procedural gaps you may be experiencing. Finally, we’ll spend a little time on mapping and automating repeatable processes.
