Tech Talk: New Microsoft 365 Tools You C...

LEGAL TALK NETWORK
About this episode

Is it time to review the tech tools you use every day? Are you getting the most out of your online services (or are you using the right ones?) 

A lot has changed in the way Microsoft tools interact with the world of legal tech in the past year or so. So, we’ve got a special episode on tech. A back-to-school session where host Adriana Linares offers some no nonsense tutoring to help you get the most out of your Microsoft subscriptions and tech and be more productive. 

Start with understanding your Microsoft account and the types of available add-ons and subscriptions. Take a deep dive into the types of Microsoft accounts: personal/family, work, and third-party accounts. Dig into available AI and how they apply to your business. And learn about security options, and why they are so important.

Got questions or ideas about solo and small practices? Drop us a line at NewSolo@legaltalknetwork.com  

Topics:

  • Understand the array of Microsoft accounts and services. Business or personal? Security? Plus, add-ons and subscriptions.
  • Learn why you should never mingle your personal and private accounts.
  • Get the latest on AI add-ons such as Microsoft Copilot (and understand the security around these new tools).
