The Three Keys to Successful Technology Project Management Plus Preeminent Law Firms

By Kathryn Hughes | Friday, May 31, 2013

Coming today to BigLaw: While Mark Zuckerberg admonishes his minions to "move fast and break things," that's a recipe for disaster in large law firms — and not just for legal work but also technology projects. Facebook may have more users, but there's a big difference between not being able to tag a photo and not being able to file a brief. Legal technology guru and law firm CIO Matt Berg has overseen many complex technology projects. In this issue of BigLaw, he explains the three keys to keeping these projects on track and within budget. Also, don't miss the BigLaw Pick of the Week for a look at what it takes to become a preeminent law firm and then maintain your preeminence.

INXS, Lean Six Sigma, and the Evolution of the $750 Llc Plus Top 31 iPad Apps for Lawyers

By Kathryn Hughes | Wednesday, May 22, 2013

Coming today to SmallLaw: After reading today's issue of SmallLaw, it'll probably take you a few days to get the INXS hit song New Sensation out of your head for the second time in your life.

For example, Joe's firm reduced its fees for LLC formation by 78% without sacrificing profits. Not only can Joe compete against any law firm, but also against Legal Zoom and its ilk. And so can your law firm if you apply Joe's advice. Also, don't miss the SmallLaw Pick of the Week for the top 31 iPad apps for lawyers according to Bill Latham of Hytech Lawyer fame.
