Technology is rapidly changing the way attorneys practice law. Today, lawyers are using technology for virtual offices with ebilling, efiling and ecommerce. What technologies are critical for lawyers today? Henry Grossman and Roger Glovsky will present an overview of “must have” technologies for lawyers such as blue tooth, mp3, XML, RSS, IVR, OCR and KM. The discussion will be interactive; participants will be encouraged to share what products and vendors they are using as well as what they like and don’t like.

Henry Grossman is a business/corporate lawyer with Van Wert, Zimmer & Conlin, P.C., in Waltham. His clients are emerging and established software and technology businesses. He has been practicing for more than 13 years, since the time before email. Henry began professional life as a business litigator, working in Boston with Stroock & Stroock & Lavan (formerly Kaye, Fialkow), and Nixon Peabody (Peabody & Brown).
