Have JD, Will Work Remotely. Contract Attorneys Fill Gaps When Firms Have Short-Term Needs.

Episode Notes

Transcript

Adriana Linares:

Welcome to another episode of New Solo. I’m Adriana Linares and I’m your host who’s apparently a liar. I told a lie during a previous episode. One of our listeners called me out on it, and I’m here to make things right. I’ve invited Kristin Tyler from LawClerk Legal to come on and help me unravel a lie. I accidentally told, hi Kristin. Hello,

Kristin Tyler:

Adriana. I think you’re being a little hard on yourself, but very glad to be here and help further

Adriana Linares:

Educate me too. And actually, the listener who emailed me and helped me get the story straight actually made me and Kristin and him think about a outcome that could be favorable to all of our listeners based on the little lie that I told. So let me read you the email that I received, Kristin, and then I’m going to ask you to introduce yourself and sort of fill in the blanks because I forwarded this email to you, or at least the message from it and said, tell me I didn’t lie. Okay. So the message said, I listened to your recent Aloha divorce episode, and you mentioned that LawClerk legal offers the services of paralegals now as well as attorneys. I went to their website after listening, and I don’t see that I also had some trouble with searching their directory in general or change is coming, or am I just missing something? And I thought, oh man, I did say that. I thought I did see that. And so I immediately emailed you, Kristin, and I said, Hey, scratching my head, did I lie? And you very gently said, oh, you kind of did. But we came up with why I did lie, but maybe this was a good lie.

Kristin Tyler:

Absolutely. It was a harmless lie.

Adriana Linares:

Yes.

Kristin Tyler:

Well, thank you for having me on today.

Adriana Linares:

Yeah.

Kristin Tyler:

As you said, for people who aren’t familiar with LawClerk Legal, and I certainly hope that anyone starting a new law firm is at least aware of it, that it’s on your radar as a resource in a whole variety of capacities. But what we’re known for is offering freelance attorneys, contract attorneys for gig work to other attorneys or other law firms. And they do that in a paraprofessional capacity, meaning that these contract attorneys are doing the work under the supervision of the hiring attorneys. So in that regard, they’re very much like a paralegal. And what I can tell you, Adriana, I don’t know what data you see about contract rates for paralegals, but a lot of the paralegal services I’m familiar with start at 75, 90 an hour and up,

And you can often connect with a freelance attorney to do similar work for those same rates. And so depending on the type of work, there could be a huge benefit to having a seasoned attorney come in and help you with that work. We have folks all over the country who for a wide variety of reasons have turned to freelance or contract work. And for them, these are great rates to do this work, whether it’s help organizing discovery, document review, preparing deposition transcript summaries, et cetera, et cetera. A lot of work that you might think of delegating to a paralegal, you can often delegate to a contract lawyer through lock book legal for a very similar rate, which the economics of that to me make a whole lot of sense.

Adriana Linares:

Yes. And that’s the word I was looking for earlier when we were in the green room. I was like, there’s a word I want for this, but I can’t find it. It’s the economics of considering hiring an attorney. And I’m going to guess that the reason a lot of attorneys like our listener, we’ll call him ba he’ll know who he is, didn’t think about it is because maybe as an attorney, you’re an attorney, right, Kristin? I am. I am. So as an attorney, you probably look at other attorneys and think, well, they don’t want to do paralegal work. They went through all the trouble of getting a jd, why would they want to do paralegal work? But as you said, there’s plenty of them for whatever their reason is that enjoy that type of work and are available. So I’m going to guess that’s why. And so long story short, I replied to BA and I said, but yeah, I found out that they don’t offer paralegal services, but I think it would be just as reasonable financially to hire an attorney through this service. And then I emailed you and I said, Hey, do you get this a lot? And does it make sense? And that’s exactly what you said. And that’s when I said, well, come on the podcast and let’s talk about it. And then let’s also remind people about LawClerk legal in general.

Kristin Tyler:

Yeah, that’s probably the number one question. I get it. Like conferences as people walk over and say, oh, lawyers, so do you have paralegals too? And I jokingly say often that we really shouldn’t named the company like only lawyers.com, but it is only lawyers. But they can do that work that you might traditionally think of only assigning to a paralegal.

Adriana Linares:

And that’s great. And so just give us a couple of scenarios you might have, and actually I can give you a couple of scenarios about why this happens because one of my past guests, when he graduated from law school and decided to launch his own firm, he did that. He was one of your outsourced attorneys. He was just filling in some financial gaps while he launched his law firm. So that’s one really good reason you might get a fresh lawyer out there looking to make a few extra bucks while flexing their legal brains and probably getting some experience. So I know that’s a scenario that I’ve heard of specifically and you got any others? Just give us an idea why.

Kristin Tyler:

Yeah, no, I love that example of someone who’s branched out starting their own firm and they’re doing contract work for other attorneys while they’re getting their own book of business up and running. I think another very common scenario we see is obviously someone who’s taking a break from the full-time practice of law to care for family members, and that is both men and women caring for children, caring for elderly parents. We see that all the time. We see a lot of people that do a little extra contract work and they want easy stuff like doc review or discovery because they’re doing it on nights and weekends to try to make a dent in those student loans. That’s another really common one. Very good. We also have a lot of military spouses who are attorneys and on average they get moved around about every two to three years. Now granted, there’s always exceptions to that. Were at times the spouse and the family don’t move as well, but these bases are not often in huge metropolitan areas. They’re in smaller, more rural areas and it can make it hard for them to find the so-called traditional in-office law firm career. And so there again, you have a military spouse juggling a lot of demands, supporting their spouse, supporting their family. They welcome this kind of work and they want to do it and they want to do it well for you.

Adriana Linares:

And by the way, that young attorney, which that podcast was probably five years ago, is today now hiring contracted attorneys through LawClerk dot Legal. So

Kristin Tyler:

Nothing makes me happier.

Adriana Linares:

Yeah, it full circle. Is it reasonable to think that an attorney like BA, who’s a solo could essentially have a team through LawClerk Legal, could they get the same person that maybe is one or two years out of law school that is the paralegal work, but then could also have a regular contracted attorney who’s maybe more experienced at an area of law that he isn’t? Tell me how that can work. I know that’s a thing, and I think listeners would love to hear about that too.

Kristin Tyler:

Absolutely. I see often when someone who started their own firm, the firm is growing and they need to hire help, they might try to hire an associate in office, someone from their local market. The thing is, is that person is, they’re not going to be experts in the different niche areas that you want. And again, with economics, and we can get into that a little bit more, but it often makes sense to have a bench, a team of contract attorneys that have different skills and expertise. So that’s actually one of our features. It’s when you log into your LawClerk account, you can see my teams, and that’s a list of everyone you’ve worked with in the past. And within that you can organize them into maybe your in a more rural area and you’ve got a little bit of a general practice going, and part of that’s family law.

Okay, well then you’ve got someone who knows family law can help you with those motions, that discovery work, et cetera. Maybe you’ve got someone else that supports your bankruptcy cases when those come in, maybe you’ve got someone else that helps with briefing for the DUI cases when those come in, et cetera, et cetera. Maybe you have someone else on top of that that is a really great writer that you tap whenever you have a big appellate brief, you need to file. And beyond that, you could have a team for more baseline tasks like discovery research, et cetera. So you can have different little micro areas of expertise without having to hire just one person that can likely do maybe one or two of those things pretty well. Instead, you can tap into a whole team of experts in a way, it’s kind of your secret weapon.

Adriana Linares:

Yeah, no, I love that. And that’s a good way to put it. And the collaboration platform that you offer, tell us about that.

Kristin Tyler:

Yes, so it’s all web-based. We do have an app as well. If you go in your app store, there’s an app for the hiring attorney, there’s an app for the freelance attorney. We call those remote associates usually. But the web-based is still the primary place that people go because of the nature of this work. So when you log into your account, it’s just like logging into any other online account, whether it’s your practice management, your email, whatever. It’s very user-friendly designed by attorneys for attorneys because we know that you already have enough stressors on your life, so you can browse our directory. I know you said your user in the email mentioned the directory, and that’s a great way to explore the talents that available. People have to opt into that to be forward facing,

To be searchable in that directory. But let’s say you look in there and you’re trying to find someone with five to seven years experience in real estate litigation in Florida, you see someone that matches those specifications with really great ratings. You could go to them directly and invite them to do a piece of work for you, whether that’s a single project or ongoing work on an hourly basis, et cetera. So the directory is really great to go in and just see what talent is out there. Again, it’s not everyone. It’s everyone that’s opted to be public facing.

Once you are connected with the lawyer that you’ve chosen to do this work for you, you can communicate back and forth. There’s an instant messenger platform within the system. There’s a feature that allows you to launch a video conference and just talk through video directly through the platform when you’re both online rather than having to send a Zoom link or some other sort of link. But most importantly, we know that not every lawyer is going to want to communicate through this platform all the time. So once you’re matched and connected for the work, you do have access to their email and their phone number if you want to get on the phone, if you prefer email rather than the messaging system. Everybody has different ways that they communicate best, and we want to empower you to have access to all of those ways so that you’re happy with the process. It doesn’t interrupt your existing workflow.

Adriana Linares:

Very good. Well, let’s take a quick break, listen to some messages from some sponsors, and when we come back, I’m going to ask you about ethical issues with hiring contracted attorneys. Is there any state in the union that I cannot do this? I’m going to ask you too about do we pay differently for a two year attorney versus a 10 year attorney with an area of expertise? We’ll be right back. All right. I’m back with Kristin Tyler from LawClerk dot Legal. Got a lot of good information so far and some good ideas. Kristin, I know that if this idea is new to attorneys and listeners, they’re going to wonder if this is ethical. Am I allowed to do this? Is my state bar going to get mad? Can I only use contracted attorneys that are licensed in my state? What’s the scoop there,

Kristin Tyler:

Adriana? It’s shocking to me that you think a lawyer would try to poke holes in something. We never do that, but yeah, no, you’re right. Those are the first questions that any competent attorney is going to ask. So let’s review those. First off, we are very proud of the fact that we are the only nationwide platform connecting attorneys for contract work that is compliant with the ethics rules of all 50 states and the model rules. There used to be an unusual ethics ruling in Indiana that prevented attorneys there from using us that has since been fixed and reversed. The short story is that bar associations and malpractice carriers want you to have access to higher help when you need it. That helps keep you out of trouble. And so that’s the story. We are compliant with all 50 states all in the model rules. If you really want to get into the nitty gritty for your state, if you go on our website, we have an ethics white paper that explores every state in detail along with the model rules, so you can see what we’re relying on as part of that.

Now, the next part of your question that you asked about was do they have to hire someone in their state? And that’s a very common question. People always say, oh, do you have someone in my state? I’m in California. Of course we have people in California. We are very proud that we have talent in all 50 states, all practice areas. Of course, we kind of joke that our talent pool follows the electoral college. So of course we have more contract attorneys in New York and Texas and California and Florida, just of course we don’t have as many in Idaho, but we have them. But the beauty of the system is that the way that the terms of service and the workflow is arranged is that so long as you are assigning work to the contract attorney that is classified as not causing them to engage in the practice of law. So examples of that research, drafting documents for you that you’re going to review other written work that’s going to all be done in the background under your supervision, that does not cause them to engage in the practice of law. So knowing that you could potentially, let’s say you live in a high cost of living area like the Bay Area in California, and you really need someone to help you with research and writing, you could often find someone who lives in a much lower cost of living state, maybe Utah or Colorado,

And hire them at an hourly rate that you would never get in the Bay Area.

Adriana Linares:

That’s interesting.

Kristin Tyler:

That’s another

Adriana Linares:

Big, it’s so smart.

Kristin Tyler:

Yeah. Now the terms of service have evolved over the years so that if you need to hire someone that you want to take depositions for you or you want someone to have direct interface with clients to get information, they are allowed to do that so long as you verify that they are properly licensed in your state. And that’s something that we see all the time. And also it also requires a freelance attorney who’s willing to do things like take depositions and talk to clients. Some of them don’t want to. They’ve done that for years and they really don’t want to be the direct point of contact on these cases anymore. They just want to do really good work to support other attorneys in the background. But that’s how we stay compliant. The beauty of the system is really that there is so much work you can delegate to other attorneys

Adriana Linares:

In

Kristin Tyler:

That supervisory paraprofessional capacity that does not cause them to engage in the practice of law and keeps you both compliant.

Adriana Linares:

I want to ask you two questions in follow up, and I’m just going to say them out loud, otherwise I’ll forget them. The first one is, is there malpractice insurance that those contracted attorneys have to carry or that LawClerk legal carries on top of what obviously the hiring attorney would carry or does it all fall under them? And then the other question I already forgot, so when you answer that one, I’ll hopefully remember the other one

Kristin Tyler:

Sounds good. In terms of malpractice insurance, it is a responsibility of the hiring attorney.

We do ask our hiring attorneys to indicate on their profile whether they carry it or not. So the freelancers know and they know that their attorney has got that protection. Certainly if we have a working situation where the firm is hiring a freelance attorney to do work for them in an ongoing basis, either via our hourly program or our subscription program, and there will be times where they will be asked to do work that would cause them to engage in the practice of law, that is when we do ask them to add the remote attorney to their policy directly. And we have a process for that. That’s pretty limited in the grand scope of things, but there is a process for that depending on the circumstances.

Adriana Linares:

I remembered my other question. What about, I hate asking these questions. So eyerolling kind of like when somebody says to me about a practice management system, well, is the data encrypted? Yeah, they’re literally doing work for lawyers. You think they’re not going to encrypt your data. And then I have to say, oh yes, certainly Mr. Or Miss Attorney. It is. It’s the first thing they thought of. Okay, so this is a dumb question.

Kristin Tyler:

We have thought of that. You were right that we have thought of that. And it is secure, encrypted, everything is housed through Amazon Web Services at the highest level of protection. We have a paper on that as well. I am a lawyer, not the development expert, but

Adriana Linares:

I

Kristin Tyler:

Can tell you that once the two attorneys are in contact with each other and working, our team can’t see anything. It is all blind

Adriana Linares:

To

Kristin Tyler:

Protect confidentiality and further, once a piece of work is finished and closed, it automatically deletes off of the system after 90 days. And we send a reminder before that to make sure have you downloaded everything you need because we’re getting ready to delete this and make it go away. So there’s a lot of precautions there.

Adriana Linares:

What kind of confidentiality agreement is there between the hiring attorney and the contract attorney? I mean, again, dumb but obvious question, but we like to hear these things out loud.

Kristin Tyler:

Yeah, no, it’s a very common question. So I’ll add on to that as well because it ties into this. But we do have a built-in conflict check system so that when you post, if you post, you’re going to hire someone to write an appellate brief, you’re going to post who your client is, who the opposing party is, everybody that would be necessary to run a conflict check internally. And so before you’re even matched with the person, that person who is an attorney has an ethical duty to disclose if they have a conflict, is going to review that and say if they do or don’t, very few times that they do because it’s such a big network. But once in a while. Now beyond that, in addition to the conflicts check and our underlying ethical obligations that all of us attorneys have to disclose conflicts and to maintain confidences, there is a built-in confidentiality agreement that is automated as part of every piece of work that the contract lawyer, freelance lawyer, whatever you want to call ’em, they sign that every time. Now, we have had some nuances where we’ve had the hiring attorney handling very high profile cases that are in the news juicy information, and they have required additional non-disclosure agreements beyond that. So if you have that type of case, you can say in your posting, you will be required to sign an additional nondisclosure agreement beyond the normal LawClerk agreements. Totally understandable. But we have a great system built in that’s automatic and if you want to add onto it, you certainly can.

Adriana Linares:

Okay. We’re going to take a quick break, listen to some more messages from some sponsors, and when we come back, I’m going to ask you about costs membership. You’ve mentioned invite versus bid, and then did you answer my question, which I think you did, or maybe I didn’t state it specifically before we go real quick. If I am going to do work in a state, but it’s more specialized, I’m able to put into my bid or my request, I’m looking for an attorney who’s licensed in this state that specializes in this area of law, right? I mean that’s obvious.

Kristin Tyler:

Yes. Okay. We’ve realized that even though we built the system to be non-state specific attorneys for a variety of reasons want that search capability. And so it is there. My caution I always give is you may initially get someone who applies and it looks like they live in Georgia and you’re like, well, I’m in Florida, and I said, I need a Florida attorney. Why is this Georgia? But then you go into their profile and you see, oh, they’re barred in Florida and they actually practiced there for 10 years before they moved.

Adriana Linares:

That makes great sense.

Kristin Tyler:

Yeah.

Adriana Linares:

Okay,

Kristin Tyler:

We’ll be right

Adriana Linares:

Back. Okay. I’m back with Kristin Tyler from LawClerk Legal and listeners of mine will know that I always want to talk numbers. We want to know what things cost. We don’t like hidden fees. So Kristin, can you tell us what the pricing structure is? Is it a membership? Is it a per contract arrangement that a hiring attorney, and actually, why don’t you also talk about being the contracted attorney because I’m sure I have listeners who are like, oh man, I could do some contracted work. So give us an idea from both sides of what it looks like to work with LawClerk Legal.

Kristin Tyler:

Absolutely. Let’s start with the people who might be still in the process of launching their firm, growing it and looking to make a little extra money as they do that. So contract work is paid two different ways. If you work on a project, which is a single piece of work, you come in and you do a big research memo. You come in and you write a demand letter, you’re going to be paid a flat fee for that work, and you’ll be paid that when it’s completed. And that’s very upfront on the work. When you apply for it, there is a little bit of a counterbid process. So if you say, oh, they’re willing to pay 300, but I would do it, I would need at least 400, you can counter that and they look at your credentials, that’s another new feature. You can’t go lower. We don’t want to raise to the bottom, but you can put in a higher bid and say, I would do it for this price and this is why. And we’ve seen people that had posted projects for five, $600 ultimately select someone that countered at over $3,000 because of their experience level. So it’s kind of interesting and sometimes attorneys don’t know what to post it at,

But they want to hire the best person.

Adriana Linares:

Look, I say this about lawyers all the time. If there is a business case you can put in front of them as to why they should pay. And usually for me it’s technology or software or something, and it makes sense and you’ve explained to them why and what the benefit is going to be. Of course they’re going to pay for it, but like you said, sometimes they don’t even know where to start. And I think that actually that creates a really positive environment for the attorneys that are being contracted to be able to show their value and then hopefully prove it.

Kristin Tyler:

Absolutely. And absolutely. Okay, good. And when we see that happening now for both categories, whether you are doing some work or you’re hiring some work, there is no signup fee. There is no monthly fee. So this is not adding anything to your monthly bottom line. Unlike a lot of legal tools that you do have on a monthly subscription and you have to pay for it, whether or not you used it that month, you are only paying when you’re using us and getting work done. And oh, by the way, that work should ultimately result in the hiring attorney making more money. We can get into that too, but so no monthly fees, okay, this to me is a no-brainer. It costs nothing. Go ahead and make an account sign up that way it’s available to you and ready to go when the need arises, when you’re looking at your weekly or monthly calendar to-do list and realizing you don’t have enough hours in the day to get everything done, you really need to tap into that and get some help.

So that’s the basics. Now, on the hiring side, we offer two main types of work. Again, where you’re having someone come in and do one discreet piece of work, a one and done, you’re done. You’re paying a flat fee for that. You’re going to set your flat fee, maybe get some counters, but you have total control over what you’re paying. You’re not going to get a surprise bill. Now, more and more attorneys, and I’m really significant numbers here, Adriana, have turned to our hourly associate program. So I’d like to call that the associate on demand. So with hourly associate, what you do is you come in and you say, okay, I need someone with these qualifications that is basically available on demand when I need you. And you give an estimate of the number of hours a week, that could be as little as five or 10.

In some weeks it might be zero. There’s no obligation to pay unless you are actually assigning them work. And then once you’re connected with the right person, you will mutually agree on an hourly rate and you pay as you go. It’s a super great way, very flexible. You can increase the hours, you can decrease it. You could have multiple hourly associates in different practice areas depending on what your firm needs. But this is the hiring solution that we launched about two years ago that has taken over our business. This is what lawyers want, this is what they need, this is what they’re using to staff their firms, and it’s just been a no-brainer. Now, in terms of average hourly rate for an hourly associate, the sweet spot is right around one 30.

Adriana Linares:

Helpful, very helpful. We just cannot kill that hourly billable rate, can we?

Kristin Tyler:

No, no. This is not going anywhere. And with so many AI tools that are making hourly billing easier than, it’s probably really not going anywhere. But yeah, sweet spot is around one 30. We see everywhere from if you’re having someone do bulk document review or discovery, you might find someone who will do that just for 75 to 90 an hour. We also have a lot of people doing work on there at one 50 and above. I’m looking at someone here on our directory right now who’s two 15 an hour. We see the whole spectrum just depending on years of experience, the type of cases they’ve handled, et cetera, et cetera. So

Adriana Linares:

Can I find experts on there

Kristin Tyler:

To be like an expert witness? Yeah. I don’t know if I’ve ever had, you’re so creative. Every time I talk to you, you have new ideas. I’ve never seen that as a use case,

Adriana Linares:

But it just seems like an obvious place. I mean, I know there are expert directories and there’s whole world that’s been around for a million years, but this, I don’t know. Okay, well let me know next time we talk if somebody used it for that because we’ll give you credit if this becomes a thing.

Kristin Tyler:

Yes.

Adriana Linares:

And what about, you’ve mentioned two ways of finding that person or those people to help. You said both bid and invite as the way we do this. What’s the difference?

Kristin Tyler:

Correct. Correct. So when you’re starting out, if you’ve never delegated before to a contract lawyer network marketplace like this is, I suggest that you cast a wide net. And so that would be posting whatever piece of work you’re posting, be it a project, an hourly work, whatever, and you would post it to the general marketplace. So then it’s going to go out to everyone in the marketplace that meets the different criteria you set, and you’re going to get a lot of applications. You can sort those then by the state, they’re located by their rating, by their years of experience. There’s a bunch of different sort things to help you find someone. But if you’re new to delegating and outsourcing to remote lawyers, that’s a great way to really get a feel for the whole talent pool is to cast that wide net, post it to the marketplace.

Now as time goes on, you might find that you’ve found a few, we call them the magical unicorns that you just really like working with. They mesh well with your work style, they’re reliable, et cetera. And so then you can have the option to invite them directly to come onto this work. So if you have a similar piece of work that you’ve had in the past, you can invite them directly or obviously if you’ve then started an ongoing hourly associate relationship with them, they’re going to be available to you on standby and you just send it to them as needed.

Adriana Linares:

Very good. I’m so glad that BA led me down this path. It’s been a while. I mean law clerk’s been on the show before, but I know we have a lot of new listeners and I’m always happy to introduce them to services that I think are truly, truly helpful. Kristin, we’re at the end of the year here. We’re getting ready for 2026. We are closing down the old, starting up the new, what does LawClerk Legal have in the works for 2026? If there’s anything exciting we should look forward to or keep an eye on,

Kristin Tyler:

Well keep an eye on, of course, our AI enhanced tools that will be helping to make this easier. I mean, you knew I was going to say that, right? Everybody’s got it kind of did. We’ve launched a few already on the site that there’s an AI agent that can answer questions. The goal is to get this to a place that a lot of it is just very voice activated, so you can just activate it and start telling it. I need a seventh year AttorneySync Delaware who’s experienced with mergers and acquisitions to help with due diligence for the next four months. And I want someone big law experience, preferably from an Ivy League school, and you just kind of go on and on and you say, go find candidates and then it will post the work for you with all those specifications. Notify you 24 hours later, here’s the top so many candidates and just make it easy. I mean, this is a little robot concierge for when you need help. So that’s the idea. That’s the dream of what we’re working on. And of course, just also expanding our network where there’s still a lot of lawyers that don’t know about us for whatever reason. Maybe part of it is the name LawClerk at blends into all the other companies that are law something. I really do think if we had been only lawyers.com might be a little more easy to remember, but or you might be

Adriana Linares:

A really the dating Dating site. Yeah. Really fun and kinky site for lawyers.

Kristin Tyler:

We did that as a spoof for April Fools a couple years ago. We put out on our social that we were starting a matchmaking service for lawyers called only lawyers.com. I think five people saw it, but that’s okay.

Adriana Linares:

But I think you may have just invented a new area of practice as far as what I heard, because I’m pretty sure you just said murders and acquisitions, and I was like, oh, I said, it’s brilliant. Murders and acquisitions. Yes. I mean, you can really cover a lot of legal work here.

Kristin Tyler:

Yes. Okay. For point of clarification, I did say mergers, but I probably said it very quickly. So yeah,

Adriana Linares:

No, it’s just my selective hearing sometimes. Well, Kristin, I can’t thank you enough for coming on the show, helping everyone out. I don’t think there’s a lot of services like this, so I don’t mind talking about it and reminding everybody that you do not have to be alone out there in your law firm island trying to do all the coconut picking and the sand raking. You can get some help from really qualified experts or experienced lawyers and not get in trouble by doing it. So thank you for taking the time to come on.

Kristin Tyler:

My pleasure. Thank you so much.

Adriana Linares:

Remind everybody where they can keep an eye on either you or just LawClerk Legal seems obvious, but if you got social or anything else you want to mention, we’d love to hear it.

Kristin Tyler:

Yeah, I mean, if people want to connect, you can find me on LinkedIn. If you look up Kristin, Tyler LawClerk, you will find me on LinkedIn. Of course, the company has accounts on all the socials. We don’t post a whole lot, but we try to post good stuff when we do. We have a ton of content on YouTube, if that is a good way for you to learn, as it seems to be for a lot of lawyers. And I’ll also throw out, if anyone listening is posting new work as an incentive after listening to this podcast, if you want to put in a rebate code, put New Solo 25, I’ll send you a hundred bucks to Amazon this time of year with the holidays. I don’t know anybody that couldn’t use an extra a hundred bucks to Amazon, or if you’re looking to get some more off supplies and get organized for the new year, use that rebate code New Solo 25.

Adriana Linares:

Oh, what a nice surprise. Thank you. I did not ask you, and please tell us what is your role at LawClerk Legal, Kristin Tyler.

Kristin Tyler:

Well, I’d like to joke that I’m the head cheerleader. They call me the Chief Brand Officer. And so I get to have conversations like this, go out to conferences and events and talk to lawyers and try to help them. And really, I’m just so proud of what we’ve built here, and I have seen so many instances of how we have changed the way lawyers are practicing the law and helping relieve a little bit of stress on both sides of the equation. And so I get to spread the good word wide.

Adriana Linares:

I love it. Thank you. Well, and you certainly did by giving us that little surprise rebate code at the end. Thank you very much. All right, listeners, I hope you found this podcast helpful. If you are in the throes of the holiday season, I hope it’s not stressful, but wonderful and that everyone is looking forward to a great new year. We’ll see you soon in 2026

Announcer:

From nine to five, my tongue for all this time, won’t let anyone clock me short. I was thinking this was the way to go. And you put up your show. I say cheer.
