LawBank Hosts Program on “Recession Proofing Your Trial Practice”
On April 10, 2020, LawBank was pleased to welcome the founder of Discovery Genie, Dan Culhane, to present on how the right technology can help solo and small law firms recession- proof their litigation practices, highlighting how concentrating on certain areas can make your practice more effective and efficient.
Dan Culhane is a Colorado attorney who has been a solo practitioner for over fifteen years of his 30-year legal career. During his presentation Dan talked about how protecting revenue and reducing expenses is at the foundation of any successful legal practice. He went on to explain how finding and using legal technology that is specifically designed and built for solo and small firms is one of the best ways to save time and money and to recession proof your practice. Dan highlighted three legal technology tools that do just that, including Discovery Genie, Casemaker and TrialLine.
Dan started Discovery Genie when he realized that document production was one of the areas that was draining his resources and time. He needed a discovery tool that simplified his document production problem but didn’t have undue storage costs, licensing fees and complicated training. Dan needed a system that was geared towards solo and small firms and when he couldn’t find one, he decided to build it. Discovery Genie now cuts the cost of document production by 75-90% for cases with up to 35,000 documents.
LawBank community members were introduced to Discovery Genie’s integration with Casemaker, which enables firms to get the law and the facts in one place. From the Discovery Genie platform, lawyers can access Casemaker directly, seamlessly performing a privilege review and a substantive review of discovery documents. This integration highlights how easy-to-use and inexpensive technology can empower solo and small firms to make the most of their time and resources.
Dan also shared information about TrialLine, which allows lawyers to create demonstrative exhibit timelines that they can use during the duration of their case. TrialLine helps lawyers organize and prepare for trial with visual technology including color coding, categorizing information, and organizing events with the appropriate evidence and witnesses, making their trial storytelling more effective.
Discovery Genie, Casemaker and TrialLine are all examples of Legal technology that work for solo and small law firms, helping them to streamline their processes, enhance their service offerings, and compete with much larger law firms. Each of these platforms are developed for solo and small firms, save attorneys time and money and help you recession proof your business.
