WHAT WE’RE WATCHING

OPEN FOR BUSINESS - Representing one of the largest collaborations in the legal profession, a group of law firms and corporations has launched a digital platform to manage legal matters in an open-access environment. Lupl was incubated by the law firms Cooley, CMS and Rajah & Tann Asia—with input from an advisory board of 16 in-house lawyers and from Heidi Gardner, distinguished fellow at Harvard Law School. As Zach Warren and Rhys Dipshan report, the idea of Lupl is to integrate all systems and files on a matter into one single, mobile-friendly platform to give legal users easier access to their data and to enable sharing of information between law firms and in-house counsel.
