Law is a Customer Service Business: Nicole chats with Basha Rubin, CEO and Co-Founder of Priori Legal. Technology is changing access to legal services: Priori is working to remove aspects of finding and working with lawyers that impede efficiency. How did you come up with the idea for Priori: We felt a marketplace solution would help businesses: identify high quality lawyers, understand pricing, get a transparent look at what their purchasing; while using technology to make managing the relationship easier. Clients’ value that Priori seriously vets their lawyers: Improving on the legwork businesses typically do themselves; they set mandatory minimum requirements; vetting is done by people who are expert at vetting lawyers; as are reference checks; and face-to-face interviews. Lawyers value the business acquisition channel: Unlike other services – no bidding is involved. Lawyers get ‘pinged’ when a client is looking for services tailored to their experience, background and practice. Priori handles billing, invoicing and collection. People network superficially: Basha suggests small networking groups where you become friends with peers is better than attending 30 cocktail parties in a month. Advice to those starting out: Keep at it – you’ll feel you’re running hard and not making progress then you’ll have of breakthrough – it’s all about tenacity.

Provide Value and Help Others: Nicole chats with Paige Zandri, Attorney Network Director at Priori Legal Paige Zandri Bio Being prepared and practicing: is Paige’s personal success habit. Tactical best practice is logging notes: Remembering the small details that make a difference and build trust. Do quarterly 360s:  In a high growth business; look at your own work as if you’re evaluating a team member. Legal tech has influenced significant change: Ethics rules and the rules of professional conduct require that lawyers know how to use technology and show competency. Technology can trim fixed and embedded costs: A savings that can be passed on. Create a scalable market presence: using technology to be high touch while remaining primarily remote. Trial and error:  was necessary to limit and define who to go after and who to turn away.
