Call forwarding can be a useful tool for businesses and professionals that want to redirect phone calls in and around the office. But there may be many reasons why you want to turn it off, such as if you have returned to the office while on break. This simple guide will show you how to turn off both conditional and unconditional call forwarding, whether you are using an iPhone or Android device.

To make the most out of technology in 2022, your law firm should be using a VoIP (or ‘cloud-based’) phone system. The key advantage to using a VoIP service, rather than a traditional phone service, is that the use of your phone is not physically bound to a desk phone. This opens the door to many more key benefits that can help your law firm save money, increase compliance, and capture more billable hours. But not every VoIP system is built the same. Choosing the right VoIP system can be a difficult task, with many features, pros cons, and prices to compare and consider. Keep reading for key information on how VoIP phone systems work, how to choose the best one for your law firm, and 5 of the best phone systems for your law firm’s needs.

Technology is constantly increasing lawyer’s abilities to provide a faster and more effective service to clients at every law firm. However, with the rise in the use of technology comes new ethical and compliance risk for law firms to manage. How you manage these risks may be the difference between you and your competitors.

It’s no surprise that COVID has pushed the legal industry into rethinking its approach to tech for 2022. In our conversations with people in law, over the past two years, the need for a flexible, integrated and cloud-based practice management system was at the forefront of most practice managers’ minds.This is why it piqued my interest when it was announced last year that Infinitylaw was being acquired by The Australian Tech Innovators and being managed by Leap Legal Software. Infinitylaw is the largest practice management system in New Zealand by market share making this acquisition of interest in Kiwi law firms’ software strategy. So what does this acquisition actually mean for Infinitylaw users?

Being in the position of choosing a practice management system for your law firm is an exciting one. It is an opportunity to steer your law firm through 2022 and increase its competitive edge, by using the latest innovations yet. Considering factors like the integrations available, whether the system is cloud-based, and the ease of use and customer support will help you make the best decision about things that actually matter in practice.
