I attended Simon Lewis’ Sinch Online Legal Services Conference 2007 last Thursday.

My overall impression is that there are a number of Australian lawyers actively using the web to deliver their services, whether to consumers, businesses, governments or to other lawyers and accountants. Some are at an early stage while others are well advanced.

There was vibrant discussion about business models and billing methods as well as technology.

Presenters and case studies discussed included:

• Fabian Horton (ConnectLaw)
• Dr Andrew Stranieri (JustSys)
• David Brown (The Automatic Debt Collector)
• Tim Weekes (PromoLaw)
• Peter Mericka’s Lawyers Real Estate
• Jim Severino (HR Advance and FantasticNew)
• Stephen Bonner (Information Exchange)
• Chris Balmford (ClearDocs)

Thank you Simon for organising this forum.
