The American Bar Association has launched a web tool, ABA Blueprint, that provides access to various services packaged to give lawyers at solo and small law firms help managing the complexities of their legal practices.
The app, first announced by ABA President Linda Klein in August, provides ABA members and other lawyers a quick and convenient way to find products and services essential to running small-sized law practices.
From technology for billing to virtual assistants to insurance, ABA Blueprint offers ABA members steep discounts that in many cases will offset the price of ABA membership.
“Lawyers, particularly solo practitioners and those in small firms, understand that the administrative burdens of running a law practice cut deeply into the time they have to do what they love — practicing law,” Klein said. “We developed ABA Blueprint as a one-stop shop for lawyers to get the services they need.”
Products and services available include Ruby Receptionists, a virtual receptionist service, and Clio, which provides cloud-based law practice management software.
Additionally, ABA members will have access to member-only features, including the “Firm Builder” chatbot-like tool that offers customized practice solutions based on members’ individual practice needs and free live consultations with practice management experts.
