This past week, VLOTech co-founder and attorney, Stephanie Kimbro, presented a CLE session on technology and ethics considerations in virtual law practice at the NC Bar Association’s GP/Solo and Small Firm Symposium.

The session introduced the concept of virtual law practice to attending attorneys and provided best practice tips for the virtual law practitioner to avoid ethical and malpractice risks when providing online legal services.

We are providing the CLE manuscript with virtual law practice tips to VLOTech attorneys and will be adding more informative blog posts based on the topics from this CLE session. Several slides from the CLE presentation are posted below.

After the presentation, Stephanie had the pleasure of meeting several attorneys who are interested in adding virtual law practices to their solo or small firms. Two of these attorneys are located in the remote mountain region of North Carolina. Their clients are spread out over a large geographic area where it is not always practical to meet with clients in person. Right now they are relying primarily on email communication.

Using a VLO to connect with their clients across the region would not only benefit their law practices but help to provide legal services to lower and middle income individuals in their communities who otherwise might not have access. We look forward to speaking more with these attorneys to learn how VLOTech may be able to assist them in providing online legal services.

If you have questions about how a VLOTech virtual law office would benefit your solo or small firm practice, please contact us at launch@vlotech.com.
