Attorneys continue to be faced with the challenges of adapting to a “new normal” in the advent of rapidly evolving societal and technological advances as well as increased competition from nonlawyers. Some have embraced change, automating with new systems, and adopting progressive attitudes. Others, to their detriment, remain in denial about the significant impact these changes have on their ability to prosper in tomorrow’s environment.
During this session, Cindy will discuss future trends including the rise of nonlawyers performing functions traditionally reserved for licensed attorneys and the steps that attorneys must take to flourish in an age of unparalleled innovation. We’ll touch on benefits, pitfalls, and ethical considerations when using ChatGPT in the law office setting. You will learn how to serve more clients with greater efficiency by making shifts in your practice management methods in the areas of time management, firm infrastructure, team building, and client relationship management.
This timely session is designed for attorneys who would like to be in better control of their workloads.
