We were excited about attending LegalTech earlier this month, but nothing could have prepared us for the response we received. Legal Hold Pro built a buzz as evidenced by comments from industry analyst Brian Babineau of ESG said “the best vendor/solution I saw at LegalTech was Legal Hold Pro… It’s a no-brainer for companies!!” In addition to the product, our Signature Paper on Judge Scheindlin’s Pension Committee opinion by Brad Harris and John Jablonski was praised as a “fine piece of scholarship” by e-discovery luminary Craig Ball.
Following the paper, Brad and John were invited to write a by-lined article that was published by Corporate Counsel. The article helped explain actions GCs need to take in the post-Pension Committee world. It was a very popular contribution and was read by thousands.
