In my next column, I’ll return to my four-part series about how one law firm is using technology and will talk about some unique ways the firm is using iPads in its litigation practice. But today, I’m taking a detour to share some interviews recorded at Above the Law’s Academy for Private Practice conference, which was held earlier this month in New York City.

I was honored to be on the advisory board for this event and moderated a panel on law firm workflows. While there, I conducted interviews with many of the speakers and covered topics ranging from law firm marketing and legal technology to law practice management and legal research tips.

Here’s a compilation of the interviews and links to each individual interview can be found below, or you can view all of the videos here.

I really enjoyed being a part of this conference and that’s why I’ll be at ATL APP next fall in Philadelphia. Click here to register at the Super-Early Bird Rate of $49. Hope to see you there!
