Lawyers get a bad rap.

Lawyers have been around for a long time, and when you're this old, you're bound to collect your fair share of good and bad. It's true, ask your grandpa.

We've got records of people described as "lawyers" going back to ancient Greece, Rome, and the Byzantines. These first individuals were folks who were asked to speak for the accused because those under scrutiny were—understandably so—shaken up by the situation. It went from someone who was your friend and did you a favor by speaking on your behalf to someone who knew all of the laws, and you'd hire them to speak eloquently for you.

Things progressed through the Middle Ages, and lawyers developed an oath, a legal profession, and space travel.

Ok, that last part isn't probably accurate. But what do we know? We're into addresses and have a great legal team that ensures our customers get the best contract protections when purchasing our software.

Ultimately, a lawyer's goal is to ensure that people are represented accurately and safely in legal matters. And that's worth celebrating, don't you think?

We love our resident lawyers, with decades of experience practicing law, the legal team ensures Smarty™  is ready to meet our customer's contractual needs.

The legal team provides legal advice for licensing agreements, purchases, risk management, and adherence to data privacy laws, which protects our company and our clients. They also oversee third-party auditing of our security controls, business continuity, and disaster recovery.

Who is the legal team at Smarty, you ask?

Working with our attorneys, compliance and data manager, paralegal, and legal admin, together, they're a powerhouse team that gets things done and keeps everyone legally safe. It's that kind of work that makes International Be Kind to Lawyers Day so special.

So today, on International Be Kind to Lawyers Day, let's try to make their lives better, easier, and happier. Avoid criminal activity, including (but not limited to) money laundering, insider trading, bribery, or fraud.

And check out Smarty's address solutions!
