With the 1-year anniversary of the COVID-19 shutdown just behind us, there has been a lot of dialogue regarding what different industries have experienced over the past year. Acknowledging this dubious anniversary, we sat down to collect our thoughts and share a few advisements with respect to our small corner of the legal and tech industry.
In a nutshell?

While the first two have been frustrating to our clients and colleagues, the third potentially presents an opportunity for a refined approach to audit resolution.
