This might come as a shock to some Big Law firms, but in-house lawyers throughout the world are sick of the unrelenting barrage of coronavirus-related emails and webinar invitations.
Caitlin "Cat" Moon, director of Innovation Design for the Program on Law and Innovation at Vanderbilt Law School, dropped that bombshell by way of a Tuesday evening Twitter post. Her tweet has garnered hundreds of "likes," dozens of retweets and set off an entertaining and informative thread involving not only in-house lawyers but at least one Big Law partner.
Moon wrote: "Dear law firms, Just talked w/ two of your big clients. They're getting 250+ emails a day from y'all offering webinars on #coronavirus crisis updates. They don't have time to attend your webinars. What they want? Max 1-page summary of what they need to know. You're welcome."
