Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from Terrence Hake as he recounts how he worked undercover for the FBI during the 1980s by posing as a corrupt prosecutor accepting bribes from attorneys and, later, as an attorney in private practice making payoffs to Cook County judges and court personnel for the dismissal of cases. The investigation, known as “Operation Greylord,” resulted in bribery and tax charges being filed against 103 judges, lawyers, and other court personnel, and is one of the FBI’s most successful undercover investigations.

It’s no mystery that law firms need software to run their business – to store data, documents and email, manage workflow, avoid conflicts, and serve their clients. The problems faced by most law firms is that there is no time to find the right software, it is difficult to determine which features are valuable to your team and clients, and the number of options out there often keeps firms from making a decision.
