Join Inner Circle
Automate workflows, be more competitive, and gain more freedom
A Unique Group
The best way for lawyers to learn to leverage technology is in a group of other practicing lawyers. That’s what this is for.
Specifically, it helps you focus on the core skills and essential tools that will make the biggest impact in your practice. These skills and tools include:
1. Communication — mastering email, phone, chat, video, dictation, and meetings
2. Delegation & Outsourcing — knowing when and how to offload work
3. Process Management — creating and maintaining SOPs
4. Security & Data Protection — keeping client and firm data safe
5. Automation — using tools to streamline repetitive tasks
6. Marketing — especially referral-driven strategies
7. Remote Work — working effectively from anywhere
8. Artificial Intelligence — using AI to amplify your expertise
These are explained in detail in my free Essential Tech Guide. These tech skills are the ones you’ll master by joining the Inner Circle.
Massive Time Saving
Lawyers who adopt the right tech skills become significantly more efficient, which means they save a lot more time.
Here are results of a recent survey of active members, which shows their self-reported time savings.
Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are now the main reason members are saving time. Specifically, they report saving 4 to 7 hours each week.
Better Delegation
Members report that significant improvement in delegation through the use of outsourcing, which is another way that they save time.
Members also appreciate:
Members also appreciate:- The community support helps them get past fears about using new technology and makes it easier to put it into practice.
- Practical, actionable tech guidance helps to modernize their legal practices
Members don’t all have the same goals, nor are they all able to commit the same amount of time to improving their practices.
Therefore, I offer different levels of membership to accommodate those needs.
Two Levels of Support—Choose What Fits
If you’re just getting started, the Basic Inner Circle gives you curated insights and occasional expert sessions. But if you’re ready to go deeper—if you want guidance, structure, and real momentum—Co-Pilot is the better choice.
Here’s how they compare:
1. Basic Level ($300/year)
A great starting point if you want to stay current without a big commitment.
- Two live Zoom sessions per month on the latest legal-tech tools, automation strategies, AI, marketing, and cybersecurity
- Access to selected posted content and member comments (searchable by keyword)
- Note: Session recordings and transcripts are not made available (those are only only available at the Co-Pilot level)
2. VIP Level: “Co-Pilot” ($179/month)
Designed for lawyers who want to make big improvements, and want personal guidance making smarter tech decisions that lead to a smooth-running practice that has minimal drudgery and maximum freedom.
- Includes everything from the Basic level, plus…
- A comprehensive assessment of your current use of technology, followed by specific recommendations for making immediate improvements
- A 30-minute 1-on-1 Zoom call to review your assessment and develop your specific plan for improving
- Full access to all workshops, including the ChatGPT Lab, Email Marketing Lab, and Passive Income sessions
- Two live workshops every week, all recorded and transcribed
- Friday “Coffee Chats”—informal Zoom gatherings with fellow members (not recorded)
- Full access to all content: posts, courses, recordings and community conversations (fully searchable)
If you’re just curious about using tech in better ways, Basic will give you a solid start.
But if you want the highest level of personal guidance—VIP level is where you want to be.

Is this a Facebook group?
No, most certainly NOT.
The platform we use to host the community is called Circle, and is designed for higher level community engagement. Although Facebook groups are widely used, they come with trade-offs, particularly regarding privacy. Facebook’s business model involves collecting and sharing data with advertisers, which I prefer to avoid.
Do I have to take the Assessment first?
Not necessarily but it’s recommended you answer these questions, so I can give you specific recommendations for improving your use of technology.
If you take the assessment and get my recommendations, you’re not committed to joining Inner Circle. If you do decide to join, I’ll strongly encourage you to take the assessment at that point anyway.
What if I'm not ready to join now?
I recommend you take my training course on the 5 Pillars of a Tech-Powered Law Practice. That will help you start improving your use of technology right away (and this course is totally free).
