Sure there is scope for improvement in your legal practice, but you don't actually know what you could do to be more efficient?

All the law tech options that promise something new and different leaving you in endless decision paralysis?

Frustrated by how long it takes to make collective decisions to change the way things are done?

Whether you are working in a traditional law firm, a fledgling NewLaw business, a government department with inflexible systems or an in-house legal department with no budget, tech enabled lawyers are more valuable than ever to their clients and to their legal businesses.

As lawyers, we can change how we work, but not by signing up for yet another shiny tech solution we will barely use. Tech Enabled Lawyer cuts through the endless noise about tech and innovation to guide you to a better way by making the most of your existing tech. This practical, commonsense guide follows a five-step framework to help you find the right next step to be more tech enabled. This book will have you running a tech enabled legal practice in no time, and includes specific use cases for:

  • litigation
  • estates
  • property
  • family
  • commercial
  • in-house.
Industry Reviews

'The value of this book is that it empowers those of us who really need to "zoom out" to run their law firm, but who find ourselves too often "zooming in" on the detail of client work, to properly come to grips with tech.'

- James d'Apice, Director, Chamberlains Law Firm and Creator of Coffee and a Case Note 


'Tech Enabled Lawyer provides an engaging and insightful path to engaging technology in a way that allows both you and your client to benefit. In a world dominated by technology, lawyers cannot afford to keep their heads in the sand and ignore the reality that surrounds them. Clients increasingly want data-driven analysis and support and the way to do that is through technology. Fiona writes from experience and from the heart, making the book both accessible and informative. To make your clients happy and to succeed in the world of today and tomorrow, Tech Enabled Lawyer is a must-read.'

- Colin S. Levy, Director of Legal at Malbek & Legal Tech Startup Advisor, colinslevy.com


'Loaded with advice, tips, and useful additional readings, Tech Enabled Lawyer is part roadmap and part handy reference - something to be savored throughout your tech journey.'

- Mitchell Kowalski, author of The Great Legal Reformation: Notes from the Field and Avoiding Extinction: Reimagining legal services for the 21st century


'I LOVE this book! It's written from first-hand experience, super practical, and page by page convinces the reader to abandon their technophobia and instead, with an appropriate degree of caution, embrace it for what it is, a fabulous legal business tool and innovation enabler.'

- Terri Mottershead, Executive Director, Centre for Legal Innovation at the College of Law 


'In Tech Enabled Lawyer Fiona McLay has created a rare thing: a book about technology that is not only practical and useful, but is a jolly good read. Intricately researched and thoughtfully presented, Tech Enabled Lawyer stimulates with ideas and assists with practical tools. Whether you're a solo practitioner looking to operate more effectively or a large firm considering its technology roadmap, Tech Enabled Lawyer has something for you.'

- Katherine Thomas, CEO Free Range Lawyers


'Fiona's book is a treasure chest of what it takes to be a tech enabled lawyer to be able to better serve our clients, our team members, our profession and ourselves. Full of practical, easy-to-follow suggestions, tips and tricks. Don't read it at your peril.'

- John Chisholm, Value pricing advocate and Founder John Chisholm Consulting


'Fiona takes us back to basics, offering a practical framework to help you work out your tech needs and priorities, backed up with an action plan to guide you to implement tech in your law firm. My favourite thing about Fiona's approach is that she's not trying to sell a bells-and-whistles solution; instead she works to help you get the most out of the tech tools you already have. This book has something for everyone.' 

- Lucy Dickens, Legal Practitioner Director, Birman & Ride, author and podcaster 'Doing Law Differently'
