You know what’s fun?
Using #legaltech to frustrate and confuse your friends and neighbors.
It turns out that there’s room for you to be a complete jerk outside of your 9-5, where you can only really infuriate your staff, coworkers, clients and referral sources.

So, let’s say you’ve put in a new pool, and, naturally, everybody in the neighborhood wants to use it.
But you’re a lawyer, and that means that you’ve got the right insurance in place, you’ve got a fence put in, and you’ve also probably got the solution that makes the water turn a dark blue when someone pees. You’re a total savage.
But you’re probably not making people sign formal disclaimers and a contract for use, before you let them dip a toe in your new swimming hole.
However, you can remedy that.
Send out those contracts for signature via case management software, customer relationship management software, or an e-signature tool, and button up those local relationships.
