Your Technology Road Map: Hardware and Software on a Budget

Let’s face it, the array of technology choices for your law practice is overwhelming; and making mistakes is extremely expensive. You've probably heard of case management, document management, or document assembly software, but what functions do those programs perform?   Do you need legal-specific accounting and billing software? If so, what options should you consider? Simply deciding on a new computer configuration presents you with hundreds of options, most of which appear to be written in indecipherable nerd-speak. How do you make the right choices? This seminar answers all of those questions and more. It provides a complete legal technology roadmap in plain English, covering all areas of law office technology – from paper reduction strategies to case management, document management and legal accounting software. We'll cover the pros, cons and ethical issues of "cloud" computing; you’ll learn how to avoid committing malpractice with your computer; and best practices for everything from electronically negotiating documents with opposing counsel to the rules for backing up and protecting your data and protecting client confidentiality. Best of all, we'll provide you with a detailed budget outlining everything necessary to outfit your office.

Who should attend:

  • Anyone who needs to upgrade or overhaul his/her office technology
  • Anyone whose practice needs an efficiency boost or anyone frustrated with their current technology
  • Those looking for smarter tech spending strategies
  • Anyone interested in starting their own firm
  • Any practitioner who is “suddenly solo”
  • Support staff, office managers and anyone who provides IT for their firm
  • Any lawyer who needs to be self-reliant from a technology and work-production perspective
  • And anyone interested in learning about document assembly, legal accounting software, paper reduction and better file-management techniques
