These days, the duty of technology competence requires lawyers not only to know how to use Zoom, but also to remember that it can record you. It seems a lawyer inconveniently forgot that fact when he flipped the bird during his opponent’s appellate argument on Zoom, and then denied it. It was an expensive lesson, as the combination of those two acts — of flipping the bird and then denying it — cost him $3,000.

I reported here last week on a statement issued by a committee of Massachusetts’ highest court recommending that law firms and other legal employers permanently adopt flexible working options as their standard, rather than as the exception. Maintaining flexibility in individual working arrangements serves the dual purposes of enhancing lawyer well-being while also advancing diversity, equity and inclusion, the committee said.

There is no denying that some law firms view alternative legal services providers such as Factor as competitors, particularly for corporate legal work. But over the past year, Factor has demonstrated that it can have highly productive partnerships with law firms, as it did in a unique partnership with Allen & Overy to provide LIBOR remediation , and then did again in a partnership with Akin Gump to manage transactions for a renewable energy fund, a partnership that reportedly resulted in cos
