Happy New Year!

I’m excited about 2024 and our new year provides new opportunities for alll of us.

Check out my latest #3Strikes video on LinkedIn where I shared these “Top 3” focus areas for lawyers in 2024:

1. Artificial Intelligence: It will continue to be “AI all the time” in 2024. Since technology is both a tool and a weapon, it will be important for lawyers to use AI as a tool to better serve their clients and to use AI tools in a safe and responsible manner. In addition, lawyers should spend the necessary time to select AI providers they can trust.

2. US Presidential Election: The 2024 US Presidential Election may be the most important of our lifetime. The election will impact key areas like public policy and the economy, and we need to understand how it will affect our clients. We also need to be careful with the rise of misinformation during this election cycle.

3. Global Political/Economic Landscape: We continue to live in a complex and complicated world. Lawyers need to carefully monitor what is happening outside of the US – especially as we continue to see unfortunate wars in the Middle East and in the Ukraine and the rise of new political leaders in certain countries.

Have a healthy and productive 2024!
