It’s Easter and large parts of the world are taking a further step back from their working lives to contemplate chocolate eggs, cute chickies and bunnies, and also to ponder upon the deeper significance of renewal and hope, all as the seasons now move from the cold of Winter to something that truly feels like Spring.
And, as the leaves on the trees start to open, and green shoots emerge in the fields, so too have we seen a blossoming of Covid-19-related offerings from the legal tech world.
So bounteous is this cornucopia of freemium and virtual offerings that they are hard to keep up with, so Artificial Lawyer has now produced Legal Tech Lockdown Volume 2. (Vol 1 can be found here).
Below are some of the many offerings. Enjoy, and Happy Easter!
