Podcast appearances and mentions of sarah schaaf

One of the most dynamic areas of legal tech right now is practice management, which has seen a surge of investments and acquisitions over the past year. And one of the companies that best represents that trend is Paradigm, which was founded two years ago as ASG LegalTech and rebranded this year as Paradigm, to represent its goal of bringing about a paradigm shift for legal technology.  Paradigm is a portfolio company composed of three popular practice management platforms — PracticePanther, Bill4Time and MerusCase — and its most recent acquisition in September 2020, the electronic payments platform Headnote. Since acquiring Headnote, it has integrated its e-payments technology into both PracticePanther and Bill4Time, with plans to also add it to MerusCase. On this episode of LawNext, host Bob Ambrogi is joined by two principals of Paradigm:  Sarah Schaaf, a former lawyer and the founder of Headnote and now general manager of Paradigm’ payments division.  Colin Li, chief financial officer and chief revenue officer at Paradigm.  We talk about the company’s growth and future plans, the state of the practice management market, the increasing importance of e-payments technology, and their thoughts on future developments.  Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

How does Jared sound so damn good in this podcast? Maybe you're not a podcaster, but we've all been tossed into the world of online meetings in the past year, and having the right audio tools can help you sound your best. Listen in for Jared's top audio tips, with a little wisdom on being camera-ready, too. You know, like taking a shower and stuff. (1:50) Next, Jared welcomes Sarah Schaaf to talk through her thoughts on why the shift toward using a single provider for your legal tech needs is a good move for lawyers. (8:58) And, as always, stick around for the Rump Roast—this time á la shocking (or not?) Correia family history. (26:02) Jared's Audio Tips:  Shure SM58, Blue Snowball, or another high-quality microphone. Krisp - for muting background noise. Audacity - free recording/editing software. Zencastr - a recording platform. Noise-canceling headphones  Sarah's Sparkling Margarita:  Lowball glass full of ice A few fingers of tequila (higher end the better) A splash of fresh lime and agave (or Margarita Mix) ⅓ to ⅔ can (to taste) of sparkling beverage (Sarah recommends Coconut LaCroix) Sarah Schaaf is general manager of the payments division at Paradigm. Because we love Sarah so much, this episode's playlist is inspired by her love of African funk.

In this exclusive LawNext interview recorded in advance of the announcement of ASG LegalTech’s acquisition of electronic payments company Headnote, host Bob Ambrogi speaks with the two companies’ CEOs: Soumya Nettimi of ASG LegalTech and Sarah Schaaf of Headnote, on the reasons for the deal and the significance for customers.  On Sept. 22, 2020, ASG LegalTech, the company that owns cloud practice management platforms PracticePanther, Bill4Time and MerusCase, announced that it had acquired Headnote, the online payments platform that provides e-payments and accounts-receivable management for law firms. The acquisition is the fourth in three years for ASG LegalTech and the 27th for its parent company Alpine SG (ASG), a portfolio company of the San Francisco private equity firm Alpine Investors.  No sooner did ASG announce the acquisition than it revealed the first product to result from it — PantherPayments, an all-in-one payment system that is fully integrated within the PracticePanther platform.  In this interview, Nettimi and Schaaf go into depth on the reasons for the acquisition, their plans for future development, and what this means for both companies’ customers.  NEW: Comment on this show: Record a voice comment on your mobile phone and send it to info@lawnext.com.

Sarah Schaaf wanted to revolutionize how lawyers get paid. After growing up with lawyer parents and then becoming a lawyer herself, including a stint in Google’s legal department, she saw the problems lawyers had in collecting from clients. She envisioned a platform as easy to use as PayPal or Venmo, but made specifically for the legal field and fully compliant with lawyers’ professional responsibilities. Headnote, the company she co-founded and leads as CEO, is both a payment processing platform, allowing lawyers to accept echeck and credit card payments, and an accounts-receivable automation platform, to help ensure invoices get paid. Headnote takes a unique approach to the e-payments process, aiming to make it easier for both the lawyer and the client. It is also transparent about its pricing, with no monthly service fees and fixed transaction fees of 1.9% for echecks and 2.9% for credit cards. In this episode of LawNext, Schaaf joins host Bob Ambrogi to discuss her company and her thoughts about payment processing in general. She describes how Headnote evolved out of her own experiences as a lawyer, how it differs from other payment processing platforms, and what lawyers should understand when selecting a payment processing company.
