Keeping Company Secrets - James Boutrous Interview

May 1, 2009 | Filed Under Litigation, Unplugged - Audio 

Many companies are consolidating operations and reducing headcount. Unfortunately, this difficult process can be made even more challenging as some employees depart with more than a severance check.

Today we have an interview on this subject with James Boutrous of the Butzel Long firm as the Wired GC goes:

I enjoyed Jay’s short course on trends in legal marketing and his unvarnished views on the roadblocks and opportunities. I will offer a few thoughts on Web 2.0 and the modern law firm later this month.

There’s a lot here; listen for some interesting stats and a compelling vision. Legal headhunters may also want to click away and reflect on how a firm like VLP can tap into a large number of potential recruits within a week of going public.

I have a few thoughts, but I’ll save them for next week.

(I apologize for the static at a few points, it does clear up, and it’s not VLP, it’s my conference call provider. Or rather my ex conference call provider).

aLawyer Reviews iPaper

February 21, 2008 | Filed Under Unplugged - Audio, Technology 

There’s a new and potentially game-changing technology for viewing files on the web. It’s called iPaper, from the people at the document-sharing website Scribd. The image below is a copy of my 2008 preview that was provided to subscribers of Wired GC - Select.

The technology is free, and I bet a few document-sharing application providers are gnashing their teeth right about now.

An audio explanation is located below this image (it’s multimedia Thursday at the Wired GC). The slider at the far right of this document allows you to scroll throught the four pages.

… someone stopped by the Wired GC family compound this morning. I take it as a sign to work less and celebrate more.

Merry Christmas to all…
