The Digitization of Law with David Zumpano and Guy Remond

  

In this episode, Alay, David, and Guy discuss: 

  • How the digitization of law is changing how we practice. 
  • What it means to digitize. 
  • Efficiency, delegation, implementation, and levels of digitization.
  • How Guidr can help your firm compete with the self-help websites. 

 

Key Takeaways: 

  • People don’t want to talk to you until they want to talk to you. And those people have become accustomed to looking online and communicating online. That’s the new expectation. 
  • Digitization and delegation will drastically improve a firm’s efficiency, freeing up the lawyer for more complex tasks. 
  • Guidr enables small and mid-sized firms access to new, younger generations. 
  • The future is now – lawyers need to make the mindset shift to allow for the digitization and evolving changes in the law field. 

 

Tweetable Moments:

  • “All growth is great, but if you can’t replicate yourself or replace yourself, then it’s just one giant hamster wheel.” —  David Zumpano
  • “There is a huge amount of opportunity, because these changes are coming and have arrived.” —  Guy Remond
  • “Attorneys are busy. Their greatest challenge is getting them to say, ‘I know I have a lot of stuff on my plate, but I need to digitize and I need to do that now and take the hit even though I’m really busy.’” —  Alay Yajnik
  • “It makes their law firm way more efficient. While they’re doing the really important stuff that requires human intelligence, they’re delegating the more simple stuff to computers.” —  Guy Remond
  • “That’s a real opportunity, particularly with staff so hard to find. The more that you can automate, it gives you the time and the bandwidth to really do what you do best.” —  Alay Yajnik
  • “I’m excited to bring the law back into the center, not kicked off to the side by the big self-help websites. People need lawyers.” —  David Zumpano
