On this special episode of LawTech
Talks, produced in partnership with LexisNexis Pacific, host Jerome
Doraisamy speaks with LexisNexis legal software solutions sales
manager David Atherton-Cooper about the inextricable need for
practitioners and business owners to ensure they are striking a
balance that not only makes sense to them but also ensures that
they are in control of the firms they operate.
The pair reflect on the state of affairs for legal business owners
in the wake of the age of coronavirus, where the industry is at
with regards to increased commercial activity, demand for private
client services, scattered workforces and workplace challenges, as
well as additional hurdles including reduced reliance on paper and
keeping track of caseloads.
Mr Atherton-Cooper then discusses the symptoms that might indicate
whether a business owner has crossed the threshold of a firm
running that practitioner versus being the one running a firm, the
questions that such practitioners must answer if they are to change
that dynamic, the place of technology in making life easier,
finding the best of both worlds from a practice management
perspective, and what kinds of technological solutions business
owners should be looking for.
