Hi everyone! We’re thrilled to kick off the first Development Update series for OpenLaw. At OpenLaw we’re all about transparency (our name, after all, is OpenLaw). In light of that, we’re going to be circulating a weekly Development Update for you to keep up with what is going on with our team and follow the exciting growth of our project. After a seemingly endless January, OpenLaw is excited to share some of the stirring work we’ve done over the last week:

Improved Microsoft Word Document Upload: We have greatly improved your ability to upload word documents onto the website. Openlaw can now translate the document’s format into markdown mode instantaneously.

As you can see, we’re hard at work building a new technology stack for the legal industry and commercial world. We’ve made great strides, but still have a ways to go. Stay tuned on our Medium page for more development updates.
