The Inner Circle

A community of lawyers seeking maximum freedom by effective use of technology.

Online Lawyers

Our members learn to use technology to get more work done more easily —so they can relax, travel more and enjoy life more.

Tech enables lawyers to automate to save time and slash costs. Many use outsourcing to gain more freedom, and some are discovering the possibility of becoming “digital nomads.”

Solo lawyers are better positioned to adopt new opportunities (while those in large firms lumber behind).

Yes, there are challenges. But when you act strategically, tech will deliver extraordinary results.

The Inner Circle is designed to help you achieve those results.

How it works

  1. Members learn to harness the 5 Pillars of the Tech-Powered Practice.
  2. They learn to apply these pillars in several ways, such as courses, workshops, and regularly scheduled Zoom sessions.
  3. Community resources are all organized in a way that’s easy to find and use.

What lawyers say

Members achieve big breakthroughs to improve their practices in meaningful ways.

Please note…

There are two levels of membership.

1. Starter level 👨🏻‍💻

Is ideal for new members who are not yet sufficiently tech proficient and want to learn the basics of automation, outsourcing, and cybersecurity.

Starter level members also get regular posts delivered several times a week on topics related to the 5 LawTech Pillars.

Starter members also have access to these courses:

  • Top Tech Tools for Lawyers
  • Introduction to Systems & SOPs
  • Marketing Fundamentals
  • ChatGPT Fundamentals

These members can also attend the following events:

  • Bi-monthly Thursday Zoom sessions
  • One Friday “Coffee Chat” per month
  • (note: they do not get access to recordings of the sessions)

2. Advanced level 🚀

This is the “Co-Pilot” level where members are all fairly tech-proficient or in many cases very proficient. They are working on advanced automation/AI, outsourcing, cybersecurity, digital marketing, and virtual lawyering (i.e. the 5 LawTech Pillars).

Co-Pilot members have access to all courses, including:

  • Email Marketing (the high ROI referral engine)
  • Practice Management Essentials
  • Starting a New Law Firm

Additionally, Co-Pilot members participate in workshops, such as

  • Creating an Email Newsletter (content creation the easy way)
  • Creating Passive Income (with information products)

And they get access to recordings of all events, and can participate in all of the weekly Friday “Coffee Chats,” which are informal, off-the-record discussions that members find exceptionally valuable.

If you want more information I can share that in the phone call you’ll be able to schedule after taking the Law Practice Assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of each level?

  • The basic level is currently a yearly subscription of $250.
  • The Co-Pilot level is currently a monthly subscription of $159.

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).
