Dearest EDRM Community,

Word of the week: transition.

In our legal tech world this week, the last week of low season will conclude with finishing touches put on year-end budgets, conference travel and back-to-school arrangements being completed, and projects that slowed or became dormant coming slowly back to life.

Our EDRM Trusted Partner, ComplexDiscovery OU, released the enhanced 3Q 2024 edition of Andrew Haslam’s eDisclosure Buyers Guide, and we are thrilled to be a part of it.  Get your information for high season here.

Kaylee Walstad and Mary Mack, EDRM.
