Travis Luther, President
Over the last three years, law firms that have been relying on traditional search engine optimization (SEO) programs to grow their law firms have experienced significant traffic declines and disappointments. Our own company saw many of our previously successful strategies and marketing initiatives gutted by frequent and incongruent algorithmic changes. The cost of making those chronic systemic changes to our SEO strategies consumed almost all of our company’s profits. At a crossroads, we were forced to ask ourselves, “Can we generate more clients online for our lawyers without being reliant on Google?” After significant research, testing and delivery, Law Father was able to answer with an unequivocal “Yes!”

All Leads are not Created Equal – How to Get the Right Clients for your Practice
Greg Aponte, Director of Paid Consumer Marketing
You’re looking to grow your legal practice, so the sound of the phone ringing is a good sign, right? But it can be tiresome if every call ends with you turning down cases because they aren’t right for your firm. Marketing is different for attorneys – you provide specific services and need the calls that come in to be consistent with your areas of practice. Search Engine Marketing gives attorneys the ability to target the specific clients that they want at the moment when the clients need them.
Learn how to get real results for your practice. From crafting the right ad copy to developing a targeted media plan, this session will show you how to get more clients through paid advertising online. Greg will also discuss how using offers, reviews and email marketing can help expand your reach and get more referrals. At the end of this session, you will understand how to get more cases, in any area of practice, through online marketing.

Online Dispute Resolution – The Future or a Passing Fad?
Collie Norman and Kenneth Bennington, Mediators and Arbitrators
Dispute resolution processes have traditionally involved face to face interaction among the parties to a conflict and a dispute resolution professional, most often in the form of in person mediation or arbitration. With the incorporation of the Internet into virtually all personal and business activities, there have been efforts to design dispute resolution processes that allow parties to a dispute to interact electronically rather than in person. Some of these efforts have even attempted to automate the dispute resolution process so as to eliminate or reduce the need for dispute resolution professionals. Collie Norman and Ken Bennington, both of whom have extensive experience in dispute resolution but also in the interaction of technology with the legal process, will review the use of the internet and other technology in the dispute resolution process, examine current models such as those implemented by eBay and other online businesses, and explore what the future may look like as technology and automation inevitably will continue to present opportunities as well as challenges in the realm of conflict management.

Session 11:
2:30-3:00PM
Watson presenting on: Leveraging You to Grow Your Firm: An Outsourcing Tale
Brian Meegan, CEO and Founder
Time is the single, unmovable limiting factor for all attorneys. No matter how productive and efficient a lawyer can get; no matter how few hours of sleep on which a lawyer can regularly operate, there are still only 24 hours in a day. However, time does not have to limit the growth or success of your practice. The key to a firm's growth is leveraging the lawyers’ time and talents. Outsourcing is a particularly effective approach to creating leverage for lawyers. When a lawyer outsources her practice's often-tedious, lower-cost hourly tasks, it frees her to focus on the highest-value work that ultimately creates growth.

2:30-3:00PM
