The LTN innovation awards recognize the efforts of individuals, firms, and law departments that go beyond current legal technology. The event which took place last month saw selections made based on longevity, creativity and new trends in technology.

Mr De Silva and the company's legal and corporate affairs team, conducted an internal project to develop a records and document management system to support 12 practice groups and 1,000 users.
