How to Do More With Less

If you want an uncommonly successful practice, you must go beyond the traditional ways, and take a more radical approach. 

You must leverage the power of technology. 

Because when you use technology effectively, you will dramatically lower overhead and maximize your ROI. And that, in turn, enables you to have a practice that's both financially rewarding and immensely enjoyable.

Of course, many lawyers are using technology but not achieving this result. Why not? Well, the reasons may vary from lawyer to lawyer, but a common reason is this.

Technology can be hard

Dealing with technology is challenging for pretty much everyone. Because it’s complex and constantly changing. That's the bad news, which you no doubt already know.

But the good news is this.

You can make it easier

Learning to use technology is easier when you learn with other lawyers. Specifically when you learn from their experiences using various kinds of technology.

That's how you identify the best practices and best tools that will enable your practice to run smoother.

That's why 'Inner Circle' was created

To help you better leverage technology by leveraging the valuable knowledge in the minds of other lawyers like you.

This is a great way to assess the possible utility of new tech options. For example👇

 Discussions about tech stuff are valuable, but it's also important to learn about the...

Business of Law

Practice management software, for example, is something many solo & small firm lawyers use (but 25% do not use it). So this question comes up quite often.👇

And here's another popular question (that's also super important)👇

Lawyers also have a lot of questions about how they can take more advantage of...

Outsourcing

And some of the best answers to these questions are based on personal experience.👇

Judicial Efficiency

Judges are also trying to improve efficiency by using technology better.

Wouldn't it be nice to find a judge talking about things like this? 👇

Well, in this group, you will.

Our Philosophy

We believe that the more perspectives we can draw from, the better it will be for everyone. But, all of that said, we have to be realistic and admit something.

Not For Everyone

We don't want just anyone to join. For example, someone who's offering this kind of perspective👇is not a good fit.

Here's the deal...

However, if you value listening, learning, and helping, then Inner Circle is for you (try it for 14-days for free without entering a credit card)
