\n\nNews\n<\/a>\n\nOne of the panellists who shared the stage with Legal Interact<\/strong> at the recent Legal Innovation and Tech Fest was Shelly Tatanis, Director at the prestigious law firm Levin Tatanis Inc., who provided valuable insights into the real impact of incorporating legal technology within her own practice as well as her practice management systems<\/strong>.
