Maximizing Mass Tort ROI: Strategies for Law Firms
In this episode of Trial Lawyer View, Jason Lazarus sits down with Dan Miner, President of Mass Torts at Angeion Group, for a candid conversation about the changing landscape of legal services in mass torts and beyond. With more than two decades of experience in legal tech, finance, and operations, Dan brings a data-driven lens to the question every mass tort firm should be asking: How do we serve clients better while scaling smarter?
From reducing attrition to embracing Arizona’s alternative business structure (ABS), this episode dives deep into how law firms can operate more efficiently, manage client communications, and improve outcomes using both technology and strategic discipline.
They explore the evolving role of AI in legal operations—from scanning electronic health networks to detecting fraud—and why it must always be guided by human oversight. Dan also breaks down why “cost per compensable case” is a more useful metric for law firm decision-making and how firms can improve outcomes through better intake processes, automated updates, and partner accountability.
