IS IT important to have a technology plan for your law firm, or can you just buy some computers, software, email, and start working?
The latter approach is unlikely to lead to success as the technology tools and processes you use can significantly impact your clients' satisfaction, firm profitability, and staff productivity.
Your technology is a key factor in determining whether your law firm will succeed or fall to competition.
It's crucial for law firm leaders to create technology plans, just as they do for marketing, finance, human resources, and operations. A technology plan can help your law firm identify the right tools and processes to support your business objectives, improve efficiency, manage risk, and stay competitive.
Join to learn how to create your plan.

Too few attorneys understand the value of targeting a client niche. A legal niche can be a practice area, demographic or any other segment of a market. It’s when an attorney brings together a very narrow focused niche they often become well-known and sought after by their clients as is the case with our guest Deifilia Diaz.
Being an immigrant herself well positions Deifilia to serve her community and has made her the go-to attorney for their legal needs. Even as Deifilia provides a much need and fantastic service for her niche clients, she’s equally and rightfully earned a place as a model to other attorneys on the power of creating a niche practice.
We’re happy to have Deifilia join #nolawfirmleftbehind this week to talk about how other attorneys can create niches for themselves.

Moving to the “Cloud” or taking a “Cloud first” approach to technology?
