The Legal Intelligencer Morning Update

A Message From the Editor

Ask a law firm leader their growth strategy and they will likely tell you they never want to grow for growth's sake. But our first item looks into whether that mentality might be missing the mark. Also, we bring you a look inside Dechert's new AI tools and a story about a new challenge to the state's statutory damages cap.

Thanks for reading!
