    The Best Strategies for Running a Law Firm While Traveling with Brian Manning

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you a business owner who is struggling with taking a vacation? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Jim and Tyson discuss law practice management with guest Brian Manning, a political asylum lawyer who talks about fears of leaving a law firm in the hands of colleagues to take a well deserved vacation. As a law firm owner, taking time for vacation can be stressful. This can be due to the anxiety of leaving work in the hands of colleagues or employees and not being sure if things will get done on time or effectively. Brian speaks to the things law firm owners should consider before vacation to ensure you are not stressing during a time they should be relaxing. It is important to tell your staff that you want limited communication while on vacation. This will allow teams to inquire about everything before vacation begins to mitigate any potential issues and ask important questions. Having a competent leadership team is crucial to ensuring the necessary tasks are completed during a vacation. There needs to be people who can be trusted to tackle urgent issues when they come up. For Brian, he has 2 dedicated staff members who can fill in for him to not only take on the work but also act as a leader when other staff need support or guidance. Take a listen to learn more! Jim’s Hack: Have employees who complement your strengths.  Brian’s Tip: Have non-attorney salespeople conduct consultations. Tyson’s Tip: Use a feature on the iPhone 16 where you can pause a video and record when you are ready again.

    Streamline Legal Operations and Enhance Law Firm Management

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you looking to take advantage of a new case management system? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Becca interviews Claude Simpson, Head of Training at Smart Advocate. Claude shares his extensive experience in the legal field and provides an in-depth look at Smart Advocate's case management system.  Claude talks about the importance of Smart Advocate. It is a case management software that helps lawyers and firms manage their cases in a comprehensive and inclusive way. Many lawyers are quite hesitant to use case management softwares. One of these hesitations is believing that a case management system will do the work for a firm. Even though software like Smart Advocate can keep files organized, those in the firm still need to input the information or review the information. Smart Advocate is a tool that can make work easier and simpler for firms, but won’t do everything to keep a firm running smoothly.  There are many great features to Smart Advocate. One of them is making the client communication process better. Smart Advocate can automate messages or emails for you that are sent to the client. The software also uses templates to draft documents so staff don’t need to sit down and copy and paste information into a word document or email. Listen in to learn more about Smart Advocate! 06:49 The importance of data mapping during the onboarding process 12:18 Misconceptions lawyers have about case management software capabilities 15:20 Challenges law firms face with existing case management systems 16:13 Improving client communication and reducing staff workload 23:24 KPI’s for attorneys and case management insights Tune in to today’s episode and checkout the full show notes here.
