Over the past years, we’ve all learned to take part of our
practices online. But what is e-lawyering, and how can we build client
collaboration and technology tools (legal products!) into this new form of
practice?
Most lawyers think of document
automation as strictly an internal tool for increasing efficiency. It is that,
of course; but, it’s also so much more. Law firms can (and should) use
client-facing tools to serve DIY-leaning clients or those clients who wouldn’t
otherwise hire a lawyer at all. And, since these systems can be made available
to clients at any time, they can increase revenue and lead to creative revenue
sources.
This also poses a new gray area in
ethics. As a topic on the minds of many lawyers, states are issuing new rules on
how legal services can be provided across the board. We'll cover what online
activity can create an attorney-client relationship, what disclaimers need to be
provided on consumer-facing tools, and when UPL issues may arise if you're
building and selling your tech with non-lawyers.
In this webinar, we’ll discuss these
concerns and show you case studies on how you can create your own version of
LegalZoom, but better, including:
• Creating a
frictionless client-intake process
• How to
affordably develop a minimum viable product to test the market for your
concept
• How to collaborate with clients online and
build your own legal product
• Developing a pricing
plan for client-facing document automation services
• A discussion of the ethical considerations around automated legal
applications, including the creation of an attorney-client
relationship
• Case studies of innovative
applications in family law, estate planning, housing, and more!
