How do you get over the hump?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We invited Kerri Koen onto the Non-Eventcast to find out \u2014 since she recently started her own estate planning law firm.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kerri kicked things off by talking about an increasingly common fear for attorneys launching law firms: Will they be replaced by AI? (6:53).\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then, Kerri got into the nitty gritty by addressing some of the common concerns that lawyers have about leveraging new technology (13:07).\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kerri also offered up two important tools that every law firm should consider: document assembly (18:43) and customer relationship management software (23:25).\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, Kerri addressed the importance of using automation to more effectively implement intake and client management software, in a streamlined, modern law practice (24:42).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re thinking of launching a new law firm, but are having trouble pulling the trigger on your tech stack, listen to this episode to get yourself out of that rut.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While you&#8217;re here, free to also check out Above the Law and LegalTech Publishing&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3q89a32\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Document Management<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3OWURp9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CRM<\/a> <\/strong>buyers guides to view the latest resources.
