When the reports went digital, several of them were featured on Attorney at Work. In a few lines, he would use the breadth of his insights to clue us in on recent developments and upcoming trends.

With the Legalweek conference scheduled to convene in New York City in just a month, I began to hear rumors from multiple sources this week that it was being postponed due to the surge in coronavirus cases resulting from the Omicron variant. To find out if that was true, I reached out to Mark Fried , CFO and president of events at ALM , the company that produces Legalweek. “This is patently false,” he said in an email this morning. “Obviously we are exploring options but we are
