Avoiding Malpractice: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Legal Technology
May 14, 2024 12:00 PM-1:00 PM
Legal technology is a double-edged sword in that it can cause malpractice, or it can guard against it. Learn how to avoid common mistakes while using technology to your advantage by building malpractice avoidance procedures into your workflow. There is no prerequisite level of technical acumen necessary to understand these concepts and almost all of them will improve your office’s overall efficiency, level of client service and profitability. Most of the top causes for malpractice and grievance issues are related to organization, communication, and law office management. As such, they are largely preventable.
