Ellen Freedman: What You Need to Know as a Solo: In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Ellen Freedman discuss: Learning and growing in all aspects of your law firm. Going out on your own as a solo firm. The automations and technologies that lawyers should implement in their business. The best approach to hiring and the growing trend of going virtual. Key Takeaways: Your best work never happens immediately, especially when trying something new. Keep a good attitude and keep trying at your business development and networking. Do your own needs analysis when looking to buy new technology for your firm. Don’t just go with what one friend said because that friend said it. Budget the time, when purchasing new software or equipment, to install and train everyone on your staff. This is the best way to adequately use all the resources and features of the software you choose. It takes time to do the right hire. Vet your candidates well and hire for all the necessary criteria, not just by BE THAT LAWYER
