[Slaw: Dan Pinnington] Online Hiring Scams Using the Names of Ontario Lawyers
An Ontario lawyer notified us that his office started receiving emails from Florida from people who had responded to a Craigslist ad advertising for a local office assistant. The ad said the lawyer was Ontario-based but looking to conduct transactions in Florida and needed someone to run an office, book flights, etc. Because the ad used a Hotmail address instead of a proper law office domain name, some responders grew suspicious and contacted the lawyer directly.
Here is the message received by...

[PA Law Practice Management] Are You Ready for Windows 8?
I’m not suggesting you run out and get Windows 8 as soon as it’s available. I never allow my clients to venture out onto the bleeding edge unless they have no choice. That’s a risk better undertaken by large firms with ample IT staff, who are accustomed to the bumps and burps of new software. And it isn’t even time yet, since the Developer Preview was just released a couple of months ago.
If you’re still using Vista, you shouldn’t even wait to upgrade if...

[PA Law Practice Management] Why Your Firm Needs a Written Partnership / Shareholder Agreement
We know the adage about the shoemaker’s children running barefoot. In the law firm the equivalent is a firm built on a handshake and nod, without the benefit of a written agreement. The result? Just as dangerous as those shoemaker’s children running around barefoot on a bed of broken glass and rusty nails. Aw comeon, you’re thinking, we’ve operated that way for years and it’s working just fine. Hey, good for you. The problem is what happens when you’re...
