The lineage of legal apps grows by one. Last week, the law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher announced it had launched Willkie Compliance Concourse, an app that provides users with real-time news, analysis and practice guides related to the wide and wild world of compliance.

Focusing specifically on the U.S. and the UK, the app was essentially designed to give the people what they want: free information. Martin Weinstein, partner and chair of Willkie’s Compliance, Investigations and Enforcement Practice Group, sees it as an update on the alert emails and webinars firms occasionally send to clients.
