Hello Everyone,
I would like to create a schedule for all of my clients. Let’s say I have platinum, gold clients etc. What would be the best way for me to schedule a call for them based on their profile of gold or platinum? For example, I would start scheduling a call every month for my top clients, then a call every quarter for other categories… I need to track the data, and make sure employees are calling them… something that would alert my employees to call such clients. Thanks!

Hi Austin!👋

I will be relocating closer to the city in October and am looking for my next amazing opportunity at a blooming startup. Ideally seeking a high velocity, customer oriented role that requires travel, as I am an expert in “boots on the ground” communication, training, sales, and implementation efforts.

Both of my previous startups have gone public or been acquired with myself on staff, so I can truly help take you towards where you want to go! Feel free to drop any leads below.

Incoming first-year litigation associate starting remotely next month. Any general tips and tricks you all have learned during this virtual period?

Also, if there are any 2009 law grads that had their start date delayed, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Interesting article in American lawyer about returning to the office. Funny quotes…

“Another said they sensed a “shift in commitment at all levels in the firm.”

“In the past ‘life’ was organized around work with clients being the center of our focus. Now colleagues seem to think that work can be organized around life whether that is walking the dog, picking up from nursery or isolating because of upcoming holidays. The business of law and serving the clients has lost priority.”
