Why it works

Built so the law firm practice group meeting ends on time, with everyone in it.

  • It ends in a decision

    Capture the decision and its owner with one click while it's said. It lands in the summary, word for word.

  • Updates stay short

    45 minutes of updates with a visible clock. In a video call the speaker is spotlighted and the room is muted, so nobody talks over them.

  • Ideas from every phone

    Everyone types at once and ideas land on the shared screen together. The quiet person's idea gets the same space as everyone else's.

  • Wraps up on time

    Decisions and actions are read back, the summary is already written, and a finish on time earns the confetti.

How to run it

  1. 1Distribute a short agenda the day before.
  2. 2Meet at lunchtime or first thing in the morning, Tuesday to Thursday, chaired by a senior principal.
  3. 3Make decisions on new matters and conflicts in the meeting rather than deferring them.
  4. 4Assign case law updates to junior lawyers ahead of time.
  5. 5End by agreeing next steps with responsibilities and deadlines, and hold people accountable.
  6. 6Keep the meeting under 1 hour 45 minutes.
