We also attended the Legal Innovation Awards in London to watch Masoud Gerami, Managing Director of vLex Global Markets, receive his Lifetime Contributor award for the 35+ years he has dedicated to pioneering our legal technology and pushing boundaries within the legal publishing industry. Here’s to another successful year in 2023 as we continue our growth!
