Fully 80% of respondents who gave their firm five stars had a hybrid or work-from-home (WFH) arrangement during the pandemic, and 95% of those individuals expected their firm to permit a similar arrangement to persist into the future.

In January 2022, Tracument surveyed hundreds of legal professionals in order to better understand how those responsible for law firms had handled the COVID-19 Pandemic and to better understand how law firms would take the many changes they had made into the future.

One of the downsides to running a busy practice is that there is little time to undertake a review of the habits that make up your business. Those habits, like your office and your files, can use a good Spring Cleaning, and there is no better time than March to do this. Because we at Tracument focus on getting documents in and out of your office more efficiently, this month's blog post will focus on that part of your practice.

Spring is almost here, hopefully. We continue to receive mixed messages from the weather, but now is a good time to think about doing some Spring Cleaning around your firm. This blog post will highlight three areas where firm administrators can do an annual check-in to make sure their basic security policies and procedures are as effective as possible.

In our recent blog post series, I have leveraged my experience of nearly five years in the IME business to provide you, the legal professional, with best practices and tips on how to prepare for an IME, how to manage the post-IME period, and how to assess the quality of a new expert.

In my article, 3 Steps to a Smooth IME, I touched on the benefits of using a doctor new to IME reporting. This week we expand on this by going through three of the best practices to employ when considering an expert you have never used before (whether or not they are new to reporting).

Previously I wrote on how best to prepare ahead of an IME, including some useful tips from the perspective of an IME industry insider. This week we will expand on this by running through some post-IME tips. It is common, and recommended, practice to prepare your client ahead of their IME on what to expect and what not to do. It is at least just as important to check in with your client after the examination has occurred.

In a previous role, I worked for nearly five years in business development for a large national IME referral clinic. During my years there, I saw the IME process from start to finish from both the law firm and the assessor sides of the transaction, and encountered a few common mistakes that led to wasted time and poor file outcomes. An IME is one of the most important events in the life of a file. Over the next few weeks, I will be offering suggestions as to how to get the most out of this critical aspect of your case. This week, how to set and prepare for an IME after you have assessed your file's needs.
