Description

Meeting with clients, opposing counsel, and others is almost always more effective face to face. Although we can't always have these important meetings in person, affordable video conferencing is a great alternative to boring, monotonous telephone calls.

In this session, we'll discuss the different options available to lawyers in solo, small, and medium-sized firms, including free and low-cost video conferencing options. In addition, you'll learn about the best equipment for hosting or broadcasting a video conference, the best mobile video apps, and tips to ensure you don't spend the first ten minutes of your video call making sure everyone is online.
