‍

As we start the new school year (and exhale because fall is finally coming), we wanted to share with you one final drop from the Lawtrades summer and give you the details on what happened here in August!

‍

📅 August was a month of growth

‍

Lawtraders logged 6,292 hours in August (up from 5,500 in July), and 71 new talented users joined us. That means our network now includes over 1,050 top legal professionals.

‍

The top 3 practice areas were:

‍

1. Contract management implementation
2. Corporate compliance
3. Securities

‍

One of our August highlights was an interactive and super educational workshop session about dealing with hypergrowth. Iris Chen (Airbnb) and Milana Homsi McCullagh (Coinbase) shared how they built world-class legal teams under time constraints and gave a few tips for legal professionals in the same situation. (One tip: Hire “good general athletes” capable of filling multiple roles as your business evolves.)

‍

You can check out the replay and notes featuring those tips and everything else they said here.

‍

🆕 The Lawtrades UX got better

‍

Our engineers have been working hard to bring in new product features to improve your experience with Lawtrades. Now, you can create new positions straight from your dashboard…

‍

…and if you’re in our talent network, you can apply to new roles with 1 click.

‍

Stay tuned for even more product updates over the coming months!
