Previous podcast guest, Dorna Moini, announces a rebranding to her document automation software company Documate! Documate has rebranded as Gavelavel.io, reflecting its expansion beyond its original function. Recall, the software is used for full intake and workflow automation, building expert systems, and hosting client portals. It has become the foundation for managing data and collaboration with clients, generating work products, and packaging legal services as online products to scale practices. Gavel has big plans for 2023, including expanding its legal product marketplace, and is also working to improve access to justice and provide educational resources for attorneys. To expand its growth, the company has raised additional venture funding and hired a new CTO to support its growth.
Good luck Dorna!

MICHAEL D.J. EISENBERG IS A WASHINGTON, DC ATTORNEY WHO LOVES HIS TECH.
Over the years I have found myself helping others (especially lawyers) young and old with their tech questions. With this blog, I hope to share my knowledge on a broader scale. My postings are based on the questions I have been asked in the past and trends I see for the future.
I hope my postings can be used by lawyers of any tech skill. And, in the end, provide the readers valuable insight on how lawyers can better their legal practice and their own personal life with the use of technology.
