Weekly Digest

Issue 274 - 20 August 2021

Welcome to another Friday.

Eight weeks into lockdown, as I go to press send the Premier of NSW has just announced another month to this period. As bad as this seems, I'm left with the knowledge that earlier this week my colleagues and friends in Melbourne passed 200 days of 'hard' lockdown since March 2020 - so we all need to #staystrong together.

On the plus side of the equation, there was a lot more written about this week, so here are my 3 for this week:-

'Tech GC Report: In-house legal still “buried” under low value work' by Caroline Hill in The Orange Rag
'Law firms still allocating work in the dark, new report finds' by Caroline Hill in The Orange Rag
'How the first half of 2021 signals the maturity of an ecosystem (255)' by Zach Abramowitz & Darth Vaughn in Legal Evolution
