Solo Practice University® Guest Lectures

How do you leave a Big Law firm or medium-sized firm when they’ve been your training ground from the start of your legal career?  How do you do so ethically, responsibly and in a positive way while still keeping your clients?  How do you resolve all the potential issues (and there are many)?  How do […]

Last May, Clio ran a #Clioday contest asking lawyers how they used the time they saved because of Clio law practice management solutions.  After much fanfare, a winner was picked.  Haley Austin.  I watched her video (which her daughter filmed and edited and you can see below) and really wanted to do a guest lecture […]

Today’s guest lecture is all about change – managing the process of change. It is a grab bag of topics based upon the most frequently asked questions Jared has received these past months…and they all seem to revolve around how to make the necessary changes within one’s practice to compete effectively in the 21st century.  […]
