Trends around mental health and culture in the legal profession can be missed in the strive for competitiveness. A positive mindset and work culture can go a long way in increasing positive outcomes for law firms overall. A lawyer’s sense of personal achievement and individual purpose in the workplace is integral to this. So, to not just prevent burnout but to make work serve you, consider these 5 ways to deal with stress as a lawyer.

If you’re a lawyer, you know. Billable hours means your work has purpose and gets recognised and, ultimately, it means you are a valuable part of your firm. Yet, as a junior lawyer, it might feel like billable time is always slipping through your fingers. To capture that time and keep up with your colleagues, you should be trying to become more efficient at dealing with your non-billable tasks. Here are 3 creative ways to do so.

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. Here are 5 ways that you can use technology to reduce this risk at your law firm.

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.

Lucy is one of the co-founders of Vxt and has led the technical side of the business since November 2018. The original idea for Vxt was to build a simple visual voicemail app which included speech to text, an idea that has since changed.

It's been a whirlwind few days since the launch of our beta programme. It has been awesome to hear from those of you already using the app.

On Monday 27th July we quietly made Vxt available in the United States. In less than a week it has steadily grown to account for approximately 20% of daily new installs. This is wholly organic growth, we're not advertising in the US.
