The first caveat is that I'm sorry I haven't posted anything
recently. Work here at Alerding Castor Hewitt has been going
like gangbusters and yours truly has been up to his distinguished
eyeballs in work. Trust me, however, I'm now dutifully
committing myself to continue providing insight and humor as your
Indiana Internet Litigation guru.
Second caveat is that this post actually has nothing to do with
privacy litigation, software litigation or really any other
technology law issues. ...

I am an Indianapolis Attorney here at Alerding
Castor Hewitt LLP. This is my first
blog post – so bear with me. As a brief
introduction, my role at ACH is working on our litigation team,
both at trial and on appeal if necessary, on issues related to
business law, probate litigation, SaaS litigation, and other
technology litigation – just to name a few of the areas.
One area often overlooked in the litigation
process is the area of collections. Some lawyers might look upon the collection process...

Your
friendly neighborhood technology counsel here: As you likely
know, my goal is to become THE Indiana technology lawyer;
however, technology is not my only area of interest. Like
many of the folks at Alerding Castor Hewitt, technology law
is a passion, but we all strive to be a full service law firm for
all businesses. Thus, in addition to tech stuff, I also
litigate matters for several banking and business clients.
And, as any good lawyer does, when I see changes in the law
that may...

I must take a moment to open with a caveat. The study of
privacy and hence privacy law or privacy litigation is an analysis
that spans centuries. In fact, while it seems like privacy
issues have only recently come to the forefront with the advent of
technology, they have, in fact, been prevalent in ever major level
of recorded history. I put this point out there to help you
recognize that there are books and books addressing the issues of
privacy and my little foray into the issue is but a...

Your friendly neighborhood
technology legal counsel here to discuss with you the hidden
dangers lurking in your unassuming (and unread) terms of service
agreements. Janet Croswell, one of our fabulous tech lawyers,

face related to the clickwrap agreement (here's a link for those

Now for those of you scratching your head and wondering what a

As an admitted technophile, I can't help but look into all the
newest gizmos and gadgets. Plus, working at an information
technology law firm, I can even bill it sometimes. Thus, I've
recently begun a fascination with e-books. Jason Wilson
has done a very interesting set of blogs looking at the use
of e-books (or lack of use) for lawyers (
www.jasnwilsn.com/).
Jason's viewpoint is as a counterpoint to a recent set of blogs by
Professor Eugene Volokh (

I saw
a great article awhile back in Entrepreneur and thought
I should post the article for those in the formation stages of
their next business venture.
I can't stress enough how much time and energy it takes to launch a
start-up, and just how
much the success or failure of a budding new company rests on the
people involved. I see it everyday as an Indiana
technology lawyer involved in Indiana entrepreneurial law.
You can count on spending hours upon hours of the day with your
business...

I am speaking this afternoon at the
MBO Conference on the Legal Landscape of
Corporate Blogging. It was an honor to be invited to
participate in this year's conference, and I am truly looking
forward to the time.
As an Indiana technology lawyer I monitor areas of law that impact
my clients' business worlds. My colleagues and I monitor
Internet laws, privacy laws, ASP law, SaaS law, cloud computing
law, and various other areas of business law to best advise our
clients on how to navigate the...

This is part III of a hilarious
article by Robert Ambrogi on the
IMS Expert Services blog. I am
an Indiana technology lawyer focusing on entrepreneurial law, SaaS
business law and technology law. As such, this article hits
home as it lies at the intersection of social media and legal
process. Enjoy.

backfires
A California lawyer learned the hard way to watch what you say on
your blog. His posts helped earn him a suspension from law
practice. But the case has an unusual...

The TechPoint
Innovation Summit 2009 is finally here. I have been
looking forward to this event this year (which has not necessarily
been the case in past years).
This year's focus is more tailored to helping seed and emerging
stage Indiana technology companies pursue excellence in developing
their innovation, marketing their innovation and seeking funding
for their innovation. As an Indiana tech lawyer these topics
hit right at heart of the needs I have wrestled through with
my clients.

This article is just too good and
deserves a repost on the Business & Culture Blog. I am an
Indiana technology lawyer focusing on entrepreneurial law, SaaS
business law and technology law. As such, this article hits
home as it lies at the intersection of social media and legal
process. The article is by Robert Ambrogi and posted on the
IMS
Expert Services blog. I will repost it in 3 parts - all
are worth reading.

technology leaders.
This year I am pleased to moderate the

topic I live and breath and am always striving to see fulfilled.
Thus, I am thrilled to take part in this
discussion.
The panel consists of venture capital and private...
