In previous years, when the team from online bankruptcy software company NextChapter would operate expo hall booths at in-person legal conferences, they would sometimes bring a skillet and hand out fresh grilled cheese sandwiches to hungry attendees.
Offering consumables rather than swag such as pens or notebooks has been one way the company has tried to attract attention and spark interest in their product amid a flurry of activity.
NextChapter employees have also typically taken advantage of other opportunities to build ties with lawyers attending large gatherings, such as traveling to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland for cocktails during a National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys convention a couple years back.

Upgrading technology can help lawyers comply with ethics rules
Lawyer Megan Zavieh speaks Friday at an ABA Techshow 2021 session titled “Tech Ethics in a World Molded by the COVID-19 Pandemic.”
Lawyers seeking to comply with their ethical duties would be wise to upgrade a wide variety of technology services they utilize, attorney Megan Zavieh said during an ABA Techshow 2021 session Friday.
Home internet, online payment software and cloud storage tools were among the areas in which Zavieh recommended attorneys pay for enhanced products.
She said the upgrades would help attorneys ensure they adhere to their duty of client confidentiality and comply with the general principle stemming from the ethics rules that they use secure technological platforms. Additionally, paying for business-level services could assist lawyers in meeting their duty of technological competence.
