Message from Ross
I’m excited to update you on our great summer! The BriefCatch team loved connecting with many of you in San Diego at the 2024 Professional Development Consortium Conference (PDC) in July and in Nashville at ILTACON in August. PDC highlights included dozens of meetings with Professional Development leaders who shared how they benefit from BriefCatch for mentoring, coaching, and ensuring consistency across firm documents. It was inspiring to hear how BriefCatch is a must-have for firms’ workflows. As one customer put it, “BriefCatch is part of our arsenal!”
We’re also thrilled to welcome Jim Brock as our new COO. Jim’s expertise will help drive BriefCatch’s continued growth. We’ve also launched a new tool that lets prospects and new users experience the power of BriefCatch without installing the product. Just upload a document securely, and moments later, you’ll get a revision featuring our Most Popular Suggestions directly in your inbox.
On a personal note, I had a blast attending the Olympics this summer in Paris, my old stomping ground!
As we head into Labor Day, I wish you a safe holiday. Thank you for being part of the BriefCatch community. We hope you enjoy the first issue of The Legal Writing Pro!
