In our roundup post last month, we added a section that included links to content that drew the greatest volume of engagement. This month we’re going to build on that concept by modifying the format of these posts a little further in order to weave in content from additional sources.
Top 5 Business of Law Blog Posts
The topic of law firm billing continued to earn reader attention in October and a piece we curated with tips for law firms on improving the process was well received. The top five posts included:
- 5 Solid Tips on Law Firm Billing and Invoicing

What’s New in Business of Law and Litigation?
Public announcements for October spanned from product announcements to awards – including being named to the NC Tech Association’s annual “Best Place to Work” award program. The latter made, as you might imagine, quite an impact internally.
We are of course very proud – and we’re hiring. Our HR team has a brand new website it’s in the process of rolling out for anyone interested in joining the software team in Raleigh.
