Our newest team member (more on that below) is coming in with a bang. Law associate/engineer Kirsten teamed up with OL OG Jarrel for a demo of how you could use Ethereum smart contracts to ensure compliance with federal tax law.

Dev Updates!

Ctrl+Z for templates: Ever wanna ctrl+Z something in real life? Ever reach to ctrl+Z something in real life? Then do we have some good news for you. The engineering team has cooked up and deployed a recover feature for accidentally deleted templates.

This is between me and me: We’ve completed work on a feature that allows users to give a private name to a specific draft or contract. Now, a user can sort and search for drafts/contracts by their private names, as well.

Demos: We’ve already started working on the next two demos of use-cases for OpenLaw: a loan agreement and stock purchase agreement.

Conversion: Dev Lord Felipe is working on a tool to parse agreements of personal information, building up our biblioteca of contracts.

More like GDP-NBD: Senior engineer Jacqueline updated our privacy policy to be in compliance with GDPR regulations. Legal tech: we’re all about compliance here.
