Here is a round-up of podcasts held during our 2015 Academy for Private Practice (APP) event, provided by Legal Talk Network.

1. ATL APP: Thinking Like a Lawyer and Thinking Like a Person

Fastcase founder Ed Walters goes introspective about sapere vedere on this Special Report with Joe Patrice and Elie Mystal. Simply put, sapere vedere means learning to see. In it, Ed recalls the lessons learned from his high school art teacher and applies them to legal practice. Attorneys should remember the viewpoint of others when they communicate or work. What’s meaningful to the client is often very different from what the lawyer believes. By learning to see the perspective of others, advocates will enhance the value of the services they provide.

2.  ATL APP: First Things First

For many leaving the big firm to start their own legal practices, certain administrative tasks and overhead expenses can be a big surprise. What used to be automatic and perhaps taken for granted now becomes part of the weekly grind. Fortunately, there are affordable and scalable services that can put needed help into place.

In this Special Report, Joe Patrice and Elie Mystal talk with John Balestriere, Nicole Black, Rochelle Washington, and Gaston Kroub. Together, they discuss the art of outsourcing for receptionists, secretaries, payroll, and yes… even office space. Tune in to hear what clients think about the cost of fancy offices and their invoice.

In this Special Report, Joe Patrice and Elie Mystal talk with former editor in chief of Law Technology News Monica Bay. Together, they discuss her 30+ year collection of observations about the legal profession and technology, the shrinking prominence of equity partners, non-representation of clients in civil matters, and how things fall into place when you love what you do.

4. ATL APP: Managing Solo Practice Workflow with Technology

Being a solo practitioner is not easy. It is important for solo and small-firm lawyers to ask questions about management and marketing in order to succeed. In this two-part interview from Above the Law’s Academy for Private Practice conference, Joe Patrice talks to Jared Correia, Nikki Black, Carolyn Elefant, and Jennifer Ellis about ways lawyers can leverage technology for success. Together, they discuss billing, cloud computing, management resources, wearable technology, ethics, and the overall encouragement needed to start a solo practice.

5. ATL APP: Blogging, Social Media, and Security

The age-old question of whether lawyers should be blogging presents itself again at Above the Law’s Academy for Private Practice. In this Special Report, conference panelists Jeff Bennion, Jeena Cho, and Lisa Solomon talk with Thinking Like A Lawyer hosts Elie Mystal and Joe Patrice during the event. Together, they discuss which lawyers should blog and why, how social media can replace legal blogging, and how much personal information you should share.

6. ATL APP: Are Branded Networks the Future for Solo Lawyer with guests Heather John, Susan Cartier Liebel, and Joshua Lenon 

In the current legal marketplace, branded networks have emerged as client intake channels for many solo lawyers. These online listings offer lawyers to those in need, often for one flat fee. But from the lawyer’s perspective they aren’t always the same. So what questions should we be asking before signing up for a branded network and what are the benefits to getting in early?

7. ATL APP: What is Above the Law’s Academy for Private Practice?

If you’re curious as to why Above The Law would start its Academy for Private Practice, you’re not alone. Why start an online resource to help those who wish to practice in a small firm or as a solo? In this Special Report, Joe Patrice and Elie Mystal interview their Vice President of Business Development, Hsiaolei Miller and Director of Research, Brian Dalton. Together, they discuss the rationale for helping small firms and solos, the migration from Goliaths to Davids, and the deep bench of APP’s Advisory Board. Tune in to hear about future resources to come, including podcasts, blog posts, social channels, and eBooks.

The ATL APP 2016 National Conference will be held on September 15–16, 2016, in Philadelphia. Click here to register at the Super-Early Bird Rate of $49.
