The name of her second panel was Maximizing Productivity and Growth with Extenders: Managing Employees, Contractors, and Support Staff Effectively. As a solo or small firm practitioner, growing a law practice requires more than just managing client matters—it means building a smart, efficient support system. Whether operating a lean virtual firm using tech, AI, and contractors, or expanding through employees and future partners, this session offered practical strategies for building a productive, flexible, and profitable practice. The panel explored how to leverage “extenders”—including systems, automation, AI, contractors, employees, and partners—to offload or automate critical tasks, build subject matter expertise, create amazing client experiences, boost efficiency, and focus your energy where it matters most. Jessica spoke about launching and operating a virtual law practice, and best practices for adopting tech and AI to extend a lawyer's productivity, efficiency, client satisfaction and subject matter expertise, as well as ensuring compliance with California and federal IP laws, data protection and ethical rules. https://calawyers.org/leveling-up/schedule/
