- Managing Deals - Deals are complicated. There are e-mails to read and review, documents to revise and approve, and deadlines to meet. Typically, all of these items are stored in different places: e-mail programs, servers, calendars, even sticky-notes. Until now. Rimon Law Group employs project management software to assist our lawyers and our clients to collaborate more effectively. All communications, tasks, files, documents and deadlines are stored in a single organized location. The result: projects that stay on track with less time wasted and more time for producing quality results.
- Easy, platform-neutral, videoconferencing - At Rimon, your lawyer is only a website away. By visiting your lawyer's profile on our website, you can instantly see, speak and chat with your lawyer. (A client password is required). No downloads or software is required and the videoconference will work equally well with Macs or PCs.
- No Expensive Office Space - Rimon's virtual law firm model means that clients do not pay for their lawyers' expensive office space.
- No On-the-Job Training - All Rimon lawyers are partner-level attorneys, each with more than a decade of experience. More experience equals greater efficiency, so work is completed in much less time. At Rimon, clients never pay for on-the-job training of their lawyers.
- Elimination of Redundancy - The highly experienced attorneys at Rimon handle their clients's work personally, and don't drive the work down to less experienced attorneys as is done in larger firms. Therefore, no time is wasted on redundant explanations and discussions between associates and partners - time that is ultimately billed to the client.
- Flat Organization - Rimon's flat organization structure ensures that money is not wasted on layers of hierarchy, management, and committees.

October 25th 2010: Failcon 2010 workshop: (Off)Brand: Missing the Mark
Lara Pearson; Chief Sustainability Officer, Rimon Law Group
John Rooks; Founder, The SOAP Group
Brands signify the relationships people have with products and services, so designing and protecting that brand is important right from the start. When those relationships falter, brands suffer and can even die. What can we learn from failed brand management? By deconstructing failures, we can engineer at least some of the risk out of our business strategies. Join Trademark Attorney Lara Pearson (Rimon Law Group) and Cultural Marketing Strategist John Rooks (The SOAP Group), as they explore case studies of poor brand management and offer insights, strategies and tools on trademark protection and authentic marketing. - Is It a Barbie World?
