Directlaw.com Company Blog - Developments in Virtual Lawyering

I have noticed recently the launch of many lead generation Web sites for lawyers. Some of these Web sites will be useful for marketing the online legal services of virtual law firms.

Last year the American Bar Association Legal Techonolgy Resource Center reported that only 52% of solo practitioners have a web site. You can't be a virtual lawyer without a web site. By definition, a virtual law firm has a secure client portal that requires a client to log in with a user name and password to a secure web space. Within this secure web space transactions between the lawyer and client can take place without compromising the confidentiality of client data.

DirectLaw's founder and CEO, Richard Granat is participating this week in the Minnesota's State Bar Association's "Nine Days in June" Unconvention. Instead of concentrating CLE in the Twin Cities Area, where most of the population is Minnesota is located, the MSBA does a road show throughout the state to make it easier for attorneys in other parts of the state to attend. It's a good idea for states that have manadtory CLE like Minnesota.
