Document production: What once consisted of collecting a few hardcopy files from a relatively short list of “key” custodians now typically requires the retention of litigation-support specialists to accomplish not only the imaging and production of hardcopy files, but also the identification, extraction, and production of relevant electronically stored information (ESI) from computers, databases, servers, and even disaster recovery systems.

Blockchain domain names offer decentralized alternatives to traditional DNS-based domain names, promising enhanced security, privacy and censorship resistance. However, these benefits come with significant challenges, particularly for brand owners seeking to protect their trademarks in these new digital spaces.
In recent years, there has been a growing number of dry cleaners claiming to be "organic," "green," or "eco-friendly." While that may be true with respect to some, many dry cleaners continue to use a cleaning method involving the use of a solvent called perchloroethylene, commonly known as perc.
