Legal Management Systems: Rippe & Kingston Attends the ALA

Rippe & Kingston attended the Regions 1 & 3 ALA Conference & Expo in Cleveland, Ohio last week...  Did you? 

Rippe & Kingston strives to be a leader in the Legal industry, and as such, has been attending regional and national ALA events since 1983.  

In addition to Rippe & Kingston's attendance, Jay Erdman, principal of R & K, has been invited to present on various topics including profitability analysis, partner development, and other financial management issues.
  

During the conference in Cleveland, for example, the theme of Jay's presentation was Keeping Partners Informed with Key Performance Indicators.

The three-day event was a great opportunity to network with other Firms and learn something new.

If you're headed to the Region 6 ALA Conference & Expo in Reno, Nevada, Rippe invites you to stop by to visit the booth.  R & K would love to see you there!!

Legal Management Systems: It's Nice to Put a Face with a Name

We all have colleagues that we have "known" for years, but have never actually met in person.

With Clients all over the country, many of the Rippe & Kingston employees are known by their voices and not their faces.  
 
With GoTo Meeting HDFaces, that's starting to change.

Last year, Rippe started utilizing GoTo Meeting HDFaces for many of its conference calls, allowing attendees to meet "face to face" via webcam.

Rippe's goal is to provide the best Client support possible, and HDFaces offers another successful method to connect with Clients.
