Improving Information Flow with LegalKEY Practice Support Solutions
One of the oldest full-service national law firms in the United States, Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, has now installed one of the newest conflict management systems available. With the addition of several new offices over the past few years, the firm, established in 1849, has grown to more than 425 lawyers in 10 locations with further growth on the horizon.
