Affinity Consulting Group (Affinity), which specializes in strategic technology and management solutions for law firms and legal departments of all sizes, today announced its strategic partnership with Bellefield, a leader in mobile solutions for legal, and its flagship mobile timekeeping product iTimeKeep.

Affinity, which already uses iTimeKeep internally to help mobile consultants track time, will provide its clients with the iTimeKeep™ app as well as integrations between iTimeKeep and firms' existing time and billing systems. Focused on usability and simplicity, Bellefield Mobile Apps enable attorneys to access documents back at the office or, in the case of iTimeKeep, record time when they are away from their desks.

The Stanford study found that 75 percent of long-term success in business depends upon leadership (people) skills.
