Instructor
Ernie Svenson
I help attorneys use technology more effectively, so all their work gets done faster, easier and better.
Course Description
Technology can help you remove efficiency bottlenecks in your law practice —if it's used sensibly and strategically.
For example, setting up paperless workflows will enable you to get work done much faster and with much less friction.
And using automation will dramatically lower your overhead.
Being able to collaborate virtually with others gives you much-appreciated flexibility.
And outsourcing will give you massive freedom so you can spend more time away from work relaxing and enjoying life more.
Of course, learning to leverage technology properly requires an investment of time, energy, and money.
And it can often feel awkward to learn new things. But, the good news is that you don’t need to learn all by yourself.
This course will give you the guidance you need to start transforming your practice.
So that you'll finally start to create a smooth-running, profitable, and easy-to-manage practice that many lawyers only dream about.
