Protecting the Value of Your Firm's Digital Assets - Law Deals Episode 37
Jul 28, 202631 minS1
Your law firm's digital assets can be among its most valuable assets. Yet, while most law firm owners can tell you exactly how much cash is in the bank, ask them who owns the firm's website, domain name, or Google Ads account, and the answer often gets fuzzy. In this episode, Ed Alexander sits down with Paige Wiese, founder and CEO of Tree Ring Digital and co-founder of Biz Foresight, to talk about a risk that hides in plain sight. Your digital assets. Paige has spent sixteen years helping companies manage online infrastructure through growth and transition. She has developed a framework that tracks over 200 data points tied to ownership of a business's digital presence. She and Ed discuss vendor lock-in, what happens when a partner or employee leaves without transferring account ownership, and how digital assets factor directly into a law firm's valuation during a sale or succession. If you are planning to sell your practice, bring on a partner, or simply want to protect what you have already built, this conversation gives you a practical starting point, along with the first three steps every firm owner should take.

Most lawyers know they should have professional liability insurance—but few truly understand what it actually covers, when it applies, or how it protects them as their firms evolve.

Sep 23, 202528 minS1
In this episode of The Law Deals Podcast—the second in our two-part series with attorney Jonathan Hawkins, founder and managing partner of Law Firm GC—we shift the focus to indirect ownership of law firms and the growing role of management and legal service organizations.

We break down the ethical challenges under Rule 5.4, the risks of fee-sharing through service arrangements, and why control, whether actual or effective, is the central issu...
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
