How One Elder Law Attorney Navigates Generational Challenges with Tech and Inclusivity

Elder law attorneys face a unique challenge, managing not only their senior clients but also the clients’ children who assist in the process, as well as a diverse staff with members spanning different generations. In a recent discussion on the Non-Eventcast podcast, veteran elder law attorney Jamie Haroutunian of Priority Law shared his approach to navigating these complexities, which was detailed in an article on Above the Law.

Haroutunian began by discussing the rebranding of his law firm to a trade name, aiming for clearer representation and marketing power. He then explored the intricacies of managing a staff that includes both younger and more experienced individuals, revealing strategies for leveraging their diverse skill sets effectively.

A key part of his approach lies in technological advancements. Haroutunian has pushed for automating various processes within his practice, such as scheduling meetings and handling payments, to streamline operations and reduce friction among staff members and clients.

The intergenerational dynamics extend beyond the internal workings of the firm. Haroutunian discussed the importance of inclusive meetings that resonate with participants of different age groups and how he employs visual aids to enhance understanding during these sessions.

For those intrigued by these strategies and looking to bridge the generation gap within their own practices, Haroutunian’s insights offer a valuable reference. For an in-depth look at these techniques, tune into the podcast or read more on the Above the Law website.
