Lawyers can better utilize practice management features that boost efficiency
Regina Edwards, owner of Edwards Family Law in Georgia, speaks virtually during the ABA Techshow 2021 on Wednesday. Lawyers are overlooking some key features in their practice management software platforms that could help them greatly improve their efficiency, two speakers said during separate ABA Techshow 2021 sessions Wednesday. Melanie Leonard, founder of streamlined.legal, pointed out that most cloud-based practice management platforms include document automation tools, yet many attorneys spend months exploring the market looking for a stand-alone automation tool. “In the meantime, in those four to six months you have been thinking about it and haven’t done anything, this tool is likely sitting on your practice management software and you could very possibly have somebody on your team actually take the time to learn it and use it and save a ton of time,” Leonard said.
