Laptop Legal
Have laptop. Will travel. Practice Management for the mobile office.
Seems obvious, but I’m looking through CVs at the moment for a client and a ton of people just name their PDF or DOC file of their CV something like CV.pdf. How silly and wasteful of my time as the one doing the hiring, as I have to rename it with your name when I [...]
Off the back of a post on Tungle over at Lawyerist by Allison Shields I’ve been giving the service a try. One week in, and I’m liking it quite a bit. It’s a service to help you schedule meetings across several people and advertise your availability to others. To me it’s a bit like a [...]
As a solo or small firm lawyer, you were a lot of hats and don’t have the luxury of just delegating lots of aspects of your practice to others. As a result of a conversation that I had today with a fellow small firm legal professional, I created this list of sites that I follow [...]
Any suggestions – I’m working on tweaking my system and there are so many choices out there that it’s a bit overwhelming. I’m going to test out OmniFocus for the next week as so far it looks like a leader. Any other recommendations? My Moleskine and Hipster PDA system needs expanding.
Via the Posse List comes this look at where the real cost savings for outsourcing legal work to India – in house legal departments in direct relationships with Indian firms: Precise costs are admittedly difficult to quantify, but with EDD taking an increasing bite out of the bottom line, corporate America is looking for alternatives, [...]

Have laptop. Will travel. This site is for the solo and small firm mobile legal professional on both sides of the Atlantic -- including barristers, advocates, lawyers, attorneys, and solicitors of all stripes.
Laptop legal covers legal practice management for people who are in charge of it all -- marketing and rainmaking, web presence, client development, and of course, advising on the law. I like to use a mac and write about their use for legal professionals, but this site isn't limited by OS and if I see a useful tool, I'll write about it. Solutions for solo and small firms up to 25 people.
I'm an American lawyer living in the United Kingdom working as a legal consultant and IP strategist for universities, the public sector, and private clients. I've been to 36 US states and 12 countries, and am already on track to add a whole lot more. I still haven't been to Canada, but make me an offer and I'll be there.
I've worked on my laptop in planes, trains, and automobiles, in coffee shops, pubs, bars, and restaurants, in libraries and in parks. You'll probably find me looking for a power outlet and an open wireless network.
