The Rookie Series: Probate
Sponsored by TBA YLD
Join us for the next program in our award winning Rookie Series, produced by TBA's Young Lawyers Division.
Probate law practice frequently involves the representation of representatives - whether the subject of a legal proceeding is disabled, deceased, a minor, or a beneficiary, it is often the lawyer’s duty to ensure they are protecting the interests of said subject and the subject’s fiduciary. But what is the lawyer’s duty when the subject and the fiduciary are at odds? In this panel discussion, we will hear some of the most common ethical issues that arise in probate practice, and how lawyers may best navigate them.

Move Your Clients Up or Out
The traditional maxim in a military career was “up or out.” Either you progressed up the chain of command or you were urged to find your career calling elsewhere. Similarly, we all have clients we like to work with and those at whom we roll our eyes when they call or email. The best clients are those who are easy to work for, pay promptly, and refer you new business. This seminar walks you through the process of grading your clients on a variety of criteria. We then teach you the steps and techniques to move your clients up the scale. Turn your “C clients” into Bs and your “B clients” into As. Learn how to deliver great service to clients who are a joy to work for.

How to Create a Written Cybersecurity Plan for Your Organization
Start taking steps today to secure your law firm and your client’s confidential data! Written Information Security Programs (WISPs) are becoming essential in many states that have enacted data protection and business shield legislation.

In this session, we will cover ransomware attacks, phishing schemes, cloud computing, mobile device management, full disk encryption, secure document management, shadow-IT, two- factor authentication, password management, VPNs, anti-virus, backup, user education, and more.

Technology and Business Planning for a Law Firm
Simply fixing or replacing technology that breaks will never improve your practice. Most lawyers often feel technologically adrift, although they have a general idea of problems they need to fix and new initiatives they want to launch. A technology plan remedies this lack of direction. This seminar will show you how to build a technology plan that identifies problems, addresses inefficiencies and problems, and proactively improves your practice. Furthermore, a business plan provides direction and continuity for your overall business objectives. Find out why every law firm needs a business plan and how to build one yourself.
