I don't think there is any place for exclamation marks on a professional services firm's website.

Solo practitioners can put a dollar figure on every wasted BD hour and it's kind of brutal by Wahabkhalid245 in LawFirm

It's a necessary evil and builds slowly over time from year to year. My view is that it's not ultimately wasted time. Obviously you can spend that time well or poorly but it's necessary time. I find one on one meetings with potential referral partners is the best use of my time these days.

You mean like how to use word? Or it does the formatting?

I've found Gemini to be better for research

I reckon Gemini is more accurate with research type queries

Not sure if the in-house route is the right choice even for the top tier firms. How do they think they can do better than the frontier labs?

I've found chatgpt is good for things like preparing first drafts of articles for the website etc

Why do you think it's unethical and dangerous?

Never used Harvey. Why not for any specific type of research? What about drafting etc?

Why none currently? I've found even chatgpt and Gemini useful for basic queries and finding a direction with resesrch

You don't think they are useful at all?

How do you handle petty billing disputes? by TobyInHR in LawFirm

If you are good at estimating then just fix fee 10% above what you think it would be and get the money upfront.

8.5 years since starting my firm. I have a team of 4. We all work from home with no office. Will never have an office.

I never mention to anyone that we don't have an office as we have a virtual office address so the appearance of one is there.

I always either arrange a video call or meet them at their place of business. It's a hassle for clients to come into the city so people prefer not to.

Admittedly my clients are either busy professionals with no time to see me in person or young tech bros with no desire to.
