Lately we have encountered many theories of conspiracy and since I am not too fond of them I really hope that this article will not sound like one. I would call it a look into the future by examining the past. We are living in the era of the Aquarius and many experts are promising big transformations on the collective level and because the Aquarius is the voice of the future to some extent, I find it very insightful to think about the future of the legal tech. I would relate my story to the fashion industry and the history of it. As we very well notice, fashion always returned. We went from very long and puffy dresses to very...
Choosing the right legal software to run your law firm can be more challenging than you thought. I am always impressed by the creativity of those that create and try or do sell them to lawyers. Some think that the financial aspect can be a barrier and a qualifier when choosing the right one for you, however I would say that the real answer is that there is no software out there that would solve all the challenges lawyers face today. Yes, there are some great leading platforms out there like Clio, Leap and Smokeball. I found that lawyers on the East Coast prefer using Clio and lawyers from the South prefer using the other two.

Sometimes our lives take a spiral course instead of a linear one and no matter how much we want to control or change its course, it is not listening to us. The truth is, however, that I believe in one's capacity to direct the wind sometimes. The point I am trying to make it is quite different.

One thing I've learned since joining the legal crew was that one of the skills least used is the ability to listen. Well maybe lawyers...
We like to talk about leadership a lot. There are numerous resources on this topic and although very often the principles suggested are followed, many times they are not. Having the opportunity to experience what leadership looks like in the West, East Europe and United States I can say that I have always set higher expectations in the United States because of the position it takes in the world and especially for having access to the best resources, at least until recently. Unfortunately, having access to the best resources does not necessarily mean that one will apply them and then there is this sense of entitlement which sounds like “I know everything that is to know about the topic and...
Those of you who are passionate about astrology must have heard that although nobody could really predict the Pandemic, most astrologers and other professionals in the related fields knew that a major event was coming due to the 6 or 7 eclipses that took place in only one year, which is a lot. A worldwide financial crisis was expected, but not a pandemic, and we've ended up having both. This tells us that there are signs everywhere we just don't see them because we refuse to, or we are not ready. Maybe we were not ready to see the pandemic coming because we were not ready for a big change on the conscience level. Eckhart Tolle calls it "collective spiritual...
