    Lawyer with their client

    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!

    Around the World in 80 Days (with Smarty!)
    Arrow Icon
    Phony passports. Runaway trains. Rogue elephants. Hot air balloons. Phileas Fogg dodged them all in the 1956 movie adaptation of Jules Verne’s novel, Around the World in 80 Days. His race was against time. Today, your ecommerce business is running a race of its own; delivering quickly, accurately, and affordably across a world full of logistical landmines. Fortunately, you don’t need a valet named Passepartout to guide you (although wouldn’t that be fun?!) You just need Smarty. Smarty is your passport to global address data perfection, specializing in address verification, autocomplete, geocoding, and enrichment.
    Address component analysis: A smarter way to validate addresses
    Arrow Icon
    Most address validation tools give you a simple thumbs up or down on an address because it either matches or it doesn’t, right? But what if you need more than just “valid” or “invalid” as a response? What if you could know exactly what part of the address is off, like a misspelled street name or an unconfirmed vanity city (like Hollywood), and why it isn’t considered valid?What if part of an address needed to change in order to make it a mailable, valid address? We think you’d want to know that, too.
    BREAKING: Rooftop geocodes walk off the job—chaos mounting by the hour
    Arrow Icon
    Dateline: Tuesday, 8:04 a. m. In what experts are calling “the biggest location intelligence crisis since the discovery of space,” rooftop-accurate geocodes have officially gone on strike. The high-precision coordinates—normally pinpointing locations down to the exact rooftop for deliveries, telecom installs, insurance claims, and analytics—appeared on Smarty TV and issued a short but cutting statement this morning:“We’re tired of being taken for granted. We’re tired of being treated like just another number.
