Wonderful
It’s a wonderful platform, typically for lawyers, law firms and corporate legal departments to take off a time for entire day and attend event like this. The way the event is organized is very interesting and your keynotes and presentation were very nicely developed into a product, where one can see the entire spectrum of how law technology is helping law firms. It’s a fabulous platform.
