How To Avoid ‘Shiny Object Syndrome’ When Choosing Legal Tech

Find the right upgrades for your firm — without getting distracted.

If you’re waiting in line for the new iPhone as you read this, I’ve got a podcast you should listen to.

In  all seriousness, some lawyers seem to be addicted to shiny objects. So how do you battle the urge to buy everything new that comes down the pike?

In the latest Non-Eventcast, I talk with Emily Gordon of Amara Law about buying the right tech — without getting distracted.

We discuss how the decision to buy technology should be made in a proactive fashion (7:14). Then, Emily waxes poetic about her favorite device (14:48), as well as her most essential tech tools (16:25).  And finally, just remember: Technology is your friend (23:51).
