5 Upgrades for Engagement Agreements; Le...

LEGAL TALK NETWORK
About this episode

A real shocker, we know, but many law firms are still struggling with efficiency. Surely you’re not among them… ahem… but, just in case, Jared welcomes Larry Port and Dave Maxfield, authors of The Lean Law Firm and its accompanying training course, to help lawyers understand how to streamline processes and increase profitability. 

And, the term ‘fee agreement’ really doesn’t cut it, so Jared’s here to clue you in on crafting an ‘engagement agreement’ with his top five tips. 

-----

On the Rump Roast, Jared, Larry, and Dave play “Disposable Income,” where they examine some of the crazy stuff rich people buy and whether they’d do the same if they had money to throw away.  

Larry Port, CEO of Rocket Matter, is also a speaker and award winning writer at the crossroads of the legal profession and cutting edge technology.

-----

And in honor of all the stupid stuff people buy, here are some songs about straight, cash-money!
