New! Smith.ai Academy for Law Firms

2023-02-14

You became a lawyer for one main reason: to practice law. Yet, if you're a solo or small-firm attorney, you've no doubt realized that there's so much more to running a successful law practice than managing a case load.

Law school doesn't cover the "business side" of managing and scaling a law practice, and the 2019 Clio Legal Trends Report shows that this gap in education affects many practicing attorneys.

Despite 92% of lawyers reporting confidence in their legal skills, just 53% report confidence in their business skills.

Additionally, 76% of attorneys say they're overworked, and 69% say they have no business training at all.

It's no wonder 93% of lawyers say law school didn't prepare them for running the business side of their law practice.

We're here to help you be a better business owner and operator. We're here to make the business side of your law firm run as smoothly and effectively as the legal side.

Our new, free learning hub, Smith.ai Academy, offers online courses to strengthen your business skills, with classes covering everything from marketing to intake to office management.
