Management (UEM) solution to ensure total document security and accessibility. Good governance regulations demands that law firms ensure chains of custody remain intact in the archival, discovery and retrieval process should documents and emails be required for other legal matters.
Copyright licenses have received a lot of attention recently. The internet has created a space that allows anyone to share content across national boundaries and without incurring high costs. With copyright infringement becoming a greater concern, this new environment has caused people to rethink how copyright does – and should – work. Here is a breakdown of the three categories that copyright can fall into, and how each one works.
A state judge in Suffolk County has ordered a mother to make her two children available for Skype online video conferencing with their father as a condition of her move to Florida. The decision marks the first reported New York case in which a judge has ordered a relocating parent to facilitate Skyping -- i.e., the use of Skype conferencing software -- between her children and her ex-spouse as a condition of her move, according to a Westlaw search.

They also realise how much they still don't know and aren't catering for in their daily activities.

The statistic that stood out for me was the fact that there are extremes to this salary survey, the majority are below the R10 000 bracket and the second most popular bracket are people who earn in excess if R80 000. I was surprised to see such feedback from the senior partners.

Today's estate agent in SA is fast becoming more aware of the need for systems in their business. The relative complexity of selling and managing multiple properties is administratively intensive and poor controls can lead to loss of sales and loss of income. Transfer attorneys have become accustomed to using software to manage their processes and this reality is now a major focus point for any professional property broker.
