EP 238 - Matt Biren - Ensuring Your Firm's Adaptability to Change

Matt Biren is the founder of Biren Law Group. Matt has always had an interest in the law. This interest started early on as a boyhood addition to television shows like Perry Mason, The Bold Ones, and Arrest & Trial. The witty and intelligent portrayal of these lawyers appealed to the same competitive spirit that had always driven him in sports, school, and other endeavors.After receiving his undergraduate degree from UCLA, Matt went on to pursue his law degree at Loyola University. At the end of his first year, he started clerking for a labor law firm, Levy & Van Bourg. It was there that he first saw the tremendous advantage that large corporations and insurance companies have within the legal system.While clerking and later working as a labor lawyer himself, Matt realized that seriously injured individuals and small businesses could compete with these large corporations and insurance companies if only they had the right lawyer by their side. It is for this reason that he has devoted his professional career to developing a skill set that would allow him to protect the rights of “the little guy.”The Biren Law Group provides quality representation to individuals and small businesses that have been harmed by the negligence or wrongdoing of others.

EP 89 - Nicole Clark - Utilizing Data Analytics to Make Credible Decisions for Your Firm

Nicole Clark is the Founder and CEO of Trellis Research Inc. Nicole is a Litigator and practiced a lot at the state court level doing employment and class action work. She couldn’t believe how difficult it was to get information at the state court level. Often, Nicole was an associate tasked with anecdotes and making strategic decisions - it blew her away that they were making strategic recommendations based on anecdata when there is a ton of data on the judges. She talked about the gap-in-data with some software developer friends to start mining data from the courts she appeared in most often. It was a game-changer in her practice and was so valuable to her. It gave her the courage to jump from practicing to bring Trellis to other litigators because having that data was a huge competitive advantage as a state court practitioner. Check out Trellis at www.tellis.law or reach out to Nicole directly at nicole@trellis.law or find her on Twitter at @nicole_a_clark. On This Episode, We Discuss ...• Most Common Ways People Use Technology When They are Not Necessarily Tech-Savvy• Other Sources and Variables of Data that are Consequential in Making Decisions• Giving Insight to Attorneys to Understand Some of the Judges’ Niche Things• Where is the ‘Gray Area’ Line Drawn for Public Data?• The Ethics for What Attorneys are Required to Do
