Managing Law Firm Operations
Every law firm has to deal with operations whether it's a solo practice or a multinational "big law" firm.
But I'm talking to you, the lawyer in solo practice. And I'm here to tell you that the operations of your practice can be as efficient as any deep-pocketed mega-firm.
I think you already know what I'm talking about. This is the age of iPhone. But that's just the starting point.
You're going to need software to run on that iPhone, and your laptop. Business software.
Business software... Those words imply expensive, complicated and boring. But that's not necessarily so.
Consider these two options:
- Google Docs (Completely amazing suite of web-based productivity tools.)
- Time59 (Web-based time and billing software.)
Both of these will run on your iPhone and your laptop.
Even better, you'll spend under $150.00 per YEAR combined for both.
A few years ago serious information management at that price point would have been pure fantasy. But times have changed. Sure, you can still pay a lot for software for your practice but now there are legitimate, even preferred, alternatives.
It's good to be solo these days!
