In this episode of How to Run a Law Firm in 2025, Mathew Kerbis and I wrapped up our deep dive into essential law firm software with part two—focusing on the tools that keep your practice running smoothly behind the scenes.

We covered everything from legal document databases to marketing platforms, plus the often-overlooked essentials like password management and security tools every modern law practice needs. We also shared practical tips on choosing the right phone system, creating reliable backup strategies, and how to actually track your tech expenses so you’re not wasting money on tools you don’t use.

From client communication platforms to content creation tools, we broke down what’s worked for us (and what definitely hasn’t) as we’ve built tech-enabled law firms that support both our businesses and our lifestyles.

If you’re a solo or small firm owner looking to make smarter, more strategic decisions about your software investments, this episode is packed with the real-world advice you’ve been looking for.
