Dearest EDRM Community, 

The word of the week is: Confluence.

In our legal tech world this week, platforms continue advancing, data sources explode and the US Supreme Court hears a case on content moderation and free speech.

Tabletop exercises prepare organizations for the inevitable breach.  Join EDRM Trusted Partner, Lockhaven Solutions for a tailored approach for our legal community.

Kaylee Walstad and Mary Mack, EDRM.
