Attorneys continue to face challenges with rapidly evolving societal and technological advances, as well as increased competition from non-lawyers. Some attorneys have embraced these changes by learning to automate with new systems and adopt progressive attitudes. Others, however, remain in denial about the significant impact these changes may have on their ability to prosper in tomorrow’s environment. Don’t miss this in-depth program in which Cynthia Sharp discusses future trends, including the rise of non-lawyers performing functions traditionally reserved for licensed attorneys and the steps that attorneys must take to flourish in an age of unparalleled innovation.

The program explores the benefits, pitfalls, and ethical considerations when using ChatGPT in the law office setting, and how you can serve more clients with greater efficiency by changing your practice management methods in the areas of time management, firm infrastructure, team building, and client relationship management.
