Dearest EDRM Community,

Phrase of the week: High season

In our legal tech world this week, school has started for many, and last weekend marked the conclusion of “low season.” If that was low season, we can buckle up for the Fall of 2024!

Congratulations to our Trusted Partner, Nextpoint, on breaking our EDRM Global Webinar Platform records for registration, attendance, emoji, and “Schedule an Appointment call to action” in their timely, lively, and informative webinar “Modern Attachments or Old Fashioned Hyperlinks” with Brett Burney, Doug Austin and Kelly Twigger.
