Perkins Coie Automates Calendaring Process With Aderant CompuLaw
With almost 900 lawyers in 19 offices across the United States and Asia and having just celebrated its 100-year anniversary, Perkins Coie represents companies across a wide range of industries and stages of growth ' from start-ups to Fortune 500 corporations.
