Well it’s a wrap.  LegalTech 2019 is in the books and was fantastic (and exhausting) as ever.  It was great seeing old friends and making some new ones.  I’ve been attending LegalTech for many years and like eDiscovery technology, have witnessed its transformation.  What struck me this year was how…
