Spring Forward with 6 Legal Tech Webinars for April

Whether springing forward or falling back, those affected by changes for daylight savings are reminded twice a year the value of an hour.   To that end, we put a lot of effort into lining up webinar – that last about an hour – with high quality speakers and content.

Below you can find our monthly legal tech roundup with webinars and events geared for large law, small law and corporate counsel.  To date we have six scheduled  for the month, but may add one or two more in the near future, so be sure to check back.
