Description

Want to grow your firm? Historically, you could charge more or hire. But what if there was a third way? Technology facilitates access to high quality legal expertise at a surprisingly reasonable cost. Using freelance and contract legal help, you can do more work, grow your firm, and help more clients. But, as is the case with everything for a lawyer, it's important to be mindful of the business and, of course, ethical implications of working with freelance attorneys.

In this program, Dan Lear, attorney and legal technology evangelist, and Kristin Tyler, Partner at Garman Turner Gordon, LLP and Co-Founder of LAWCLERK (a marketplace for freelance legal help), will lay the business and ethical groundwork to help growth-driven attorneys understand how they can use freelance legal help to achieve their law firm business goals.

This course offers an informative, frank, and even fun discussion about how to apply the freelance legal ecosystem to up-level your legal practice.
